I love cracks.
So, throughout my adventures with clay, I started playing with waterglass.
I go to a workshop for ceramics and the person in charge, Andras, told me about it.
So, I gave it a test round, came out quite great, and so I decided to make myself a chawan with the accumulated knowledge.
I also love iron oxide (rust), I feel like it adds to the aestetique of age.
I'm deeply, let me repeat myself, deeply in love with the philosophy and aestetique of wabi-sabi, and that's the style I pursue in my cups.
I want them to feel raw, imperfect, not too complicated, not too simple. Fortunately, I haven't yet found it, I'm still in the pursuit of it, and I'm saying fortunately because the journey towards the perfect style is a heck of a lot of fun.
So then, short intro, here are the cups.
First try, to see what can iron oxide and waterglass do.
And here is the second cup. After seeing what I can do with it, this is one of the works I'm proud of.
Hope you like them!
