plates

a few months ago, after a three-year break from ceramics, i gave making pots another try. a fun - and humbling - experience. i thoroughly enjoyed the decorating part, the ease of the little drawings and their relationship with the object. BUT, there is so much to learn about form and shape and the technical aspects of ceramic work. clay bodies, glazes, the co-efficient of thermal expansion, firing curves… it’s quite daunting, really.

i don’t know when (if) i’ll continue my ceramic experiments, but anyway, here are some photos of the last one. (i used porcelain this time.)

unglazed plates and coasters made from leftover paint and fabric remnants on an unfinished painting :) i love the combination of colors and materials in this photo

(shoes inspired by the tsarouchia worn by the greek presidential guard)

pseudo kintsugi käsnudel (traditional carinthian food)

little bowl inspired by the intriguing illustrations of the voynich manuscript from the early 15th century that has yet to be deciphered

another voynich manuscript inspired plate

mishima (inlay) process

the joys of pottery…

this one broke in half during the glaze firing :(

sometimes it’s nice to get crafty (coasters in the making)
