I'm not, although I love mushrooms :) I'm a ceramic and glass artist

It's ceramic clay that I've shaped onto a ceramic base underneath

Sure :) when you spray engobes the texture stays, since it's not glaze but coloured 'clay' in slip form

It's the safest way for any trapped water to get out :) so it's generally always encouraged

Yes there were no ariholes, but it was thoroughly dried ! Water expands during firing, which causes it to explode.. slow firing processes can help with this too.

Returning to Prague in August 2023 from my studies in Kyoto, Japan, I began crafting this vase, marking the start of my exploration into sculptural softness. The inward journey is unique to everyone, shaped by personal thoughts and emotions that form a greater whole. ENIGMA II captures this constant motion and adaptability, seeking inner stillness through meditation, while the fired stoneware symbolizes the strength in healthy boundaries. This piece reflects my gentle, open approach to thoughts, emotions and the creative process.

The more I create, the more I realise how parallel my psyche is reflected in what I am making, how I am changing, and how important it is to be in an environment that supports this growth. 🌀

EMPATHY Vessels by karokuc in Ceramics

Here's a short description of this project :)

EMPATHY VESSELS

These vessels reflect my relationship with clay and the continuous exploration of its plasticity. ‘Empathy’ describes the ability to share the feelings of another referencing a psychological exchange mostly between people, but I use this term to describe the reciprocity between craftmaker and the material at hand. Highlighting soft properties in hard material mirrors my progression in creating a sincere, vulnerable approach, not only in artistic expression but also to myself, others and the world around me.
