For a little over a year now, I've been making various utilitarian pieces in semi-glazed or 6-cone porcelain using the plate shaping technique.
For the festive season, I also make decorative faux-biscuits, though these are made of salt dough, as this material is more respectful of the texture of a cookie. On the other hand, my ceramic work is very much inspired by the playful, colorful texture of these faux-biscuits.
I like to contrast the rustic, organic shapes that shaping allows me with the graphic side of my glazes. I try to avoid making my pieces "perfect", which is why I favor shaping that leaves a certain human imprint. To imbue my creations with modernity, I generally decorate them with geometric and graphic glaze motifs.
