Is it art or a light fixture -- or both? The beauty of putting light into a ceramic form is that it can be an interesting piece on its own, while providing a unique accent light at the same time. Unlike any standard light fixture, a sculptural ceramic lantern casts shadows in unusual ways, letting light through openings in the form or alternatively, through ultra-thin porcelain walls. A porcelain lantern with a thin, carved surface will cast images and patterns when light shines through (see photos below). The piece at left is is a new one of mine, a closed cylinder with pierced "shells" covering the form.
A uniquely fluid form, Unda takes its name from the Latin word used to describe water, specifically ripples, waves or a body of water. The ceramic piece evokes flowing motion and softness, and looks beautiful on the mantle or display shelf. Available in black and white.
Vine-like colorful coils of material overlap in Claire Lindner’s latest sculpture collection, which blurs the line between organic and human-made forms. Each piece has a vibrancy and motion designed to push the possibilities of the medium. “My ideas are guided by the evocation of the living,” she tells Colossal. “I try through movement and color to combine images of vegetation, the animal or the mineral world, the body as if everything was made of the same substance.” Lindner plays on oppositions when designing her ceramics to “create a visual confusion that triggers our imagination.” She creates tensions between aesthetics and textures, including soft and hard, light and heavy, and attractive and repulsive.

For millennia, pearls have been treasured for their luminous sheen and range of hues and were first documented for their use as gemstones more than 4,000 years ago in China. Symbolic of luck, wisdom, and prosperity in cultures throughout the world, these organic orbs have given rise to myths and legends related to divine beings, often said to be fashioned from the tears of mermaids or gods. In Greek myth, it’s said that if a bride wears pearls on her wedding day, she won’t cry. More

Commissions are brilliant opportunities for stretching you and your practice. I was excited to be one of eighteen makers approached by The New Craftsmen Gallery, to create a bowl to feature as part of their 'An Anthology of British Craft' to be showcased at Decorex 2015. They will transform the VIP lounge into an immersive space that celebrates luxury British craft, providing a creative platform for our skills , materials and process. It is an amazing showcase for my ceramic patchwork and an opportunity to work with a gallery that I have long admired. The brief was for a bowl, 45cm in diameter by 25cm deep. Whilst my pieces tend to revive discarded ready-made ceramics, my search for such a proportion subsequently proved fruitless - serving platters were too shallow, whilst planters were too deep. It has been my intention for quite a while to explore the creation of my own forms to break and re-build. I'm thankful for the nudge this commission has given me in taking this next step. The valuable advice and encouragement given by my academic colleague, the ceramicist, Sue Dawes, is gratefully acknowledged! Considering the array of clay options gave me a strangely familiar thrill, similar to that of sourcing yarns when I was previously a knitwear designer. It is the thrill of raw materials and the excitement at their potential. With shrinkage discussed, clay composition decided, a suitable mold sourced and a plan of action in place, I found myself rolling out clay and engaged in piecing together, for a change using fingertips and slip, rather than fabric and stitch. As the piece grew, so did my appreciation for the skill of ceramicists. With the drying process, started the shrinkage process. When it had reached 'leather state' I was able to lift the bowl out of its mold and could appreciate how the protective calico cotton liner had left interesting imprints in its surface (a quality that has planted seeds in my imagination for future exploration). It wasn't until I had scraped and smoothed the form that I began to get a sense of the vessel's personality, a key aspect in being able to make a good selection regarding fabric. It took two firings for the bowl to shrink to the desired diameter. It emerged from the kiln with an endearingly warped top edge and plenty of signs of it's amateur creator's hand, but, for my first ever bowl (and a big one at that) I thought, not bad! Having slaved over its creation, how did it feel to then take a hammer to it? I had been being regularly asked about this and it was an interesting unknown. Usually the breakage of a vessel marks the start of my process, but I was a significant way through and with emotional, financial and creative investment. The bowl was big and it was heavy. With my process relying on the strength of stitch and textile alone to provide structural integrity, I knew heavier fabrics than my normal fashion silks would be required. The concept of the installation was to showcase innovation and craftsmanship in the use of materials and processes. With my piece sitting alongside bowls made of wood, ceramic, glass and jesmonite, I sourced fine weight contemporary furnishing fabrics, deciding upon a neutral colour palette and concentrating on textural and surface qualities. The bowl incorporates fabrics from the collections of Sacho, Zoffany, Sandersons Brentano and Mark Alexander. Thanks go especially to Casamance Group who sent me two rolls of the most exquisite material, which were a joy to work with. In the end my excitement in starting the ceramic patchwork process using these materials overcame any sentimentality I felt in relation to breaking the bowl. I felt confident my ceramic patchwork craftsmanship was going to be infinitely better than my ceramic skill! Before starting to break it and with it positioned on a large piece of bubble-wrap, I did indulge in the sensation of holding it as a solid piece and enjoying the beautiful ringing sound it gave off when lightly struck. Over the years, I have developed experience of the force needed for a controlled breakage of domestic ceramic forms, taking account for different material properties, thicknesses and scales. This was a very different prospect. As I began, the hammer strike rang out with a pure sound multiple times before a change in pitch alerted me to the development of a crack. I was relieved to see clean edged fragments rather than crumbling remains. And so my familiar ceramic patchwork process began, but this time with marked differences; heavier fabrics, thicker thread, textural design decisions and building much larger sections. New variants of familiar technical challenges materialised and were overcome. For the first time, I needed another pair of hands for the the tricky joins as I neared completion. In my initial briefing with Catherine Lock (one of the three founders of The New Craftsmen), we had talked about the aesthetics of aerial rural photography and the beautiful striped patchwork of Louis Bourgeois. I was interested in making a piece that was stripped bare of my normal pattern imagery and colour impact, closer to archaeological artifact restorations that are raw and unadorned. I am really pleased how these influences have come together in the piece. I am really looking forward to Decorex 2015 and seeing my pieces placed alongside those of; Edmond Byrne (glass), Eleanor Lakelin (wood), Pedro da Costa Felgueiras (gilded cork), Nicola Tassie (ceramic), Matthew Warner (ceramic), Stuart Carey (semi porcelain stonewear), Doug Fitch (earthenwear clay), Hannah McAndrew (slipware), Stephanie Tudor (Jesmonite), Grant McCaig (metal), Patrick Thomson (textiles), Nic Webb (wood), Akiko Hirai (ceramics) and Iva Polachov (ceramics). There are so many aspects about making this piece that are new departures for me that it is going to take a little time to digest. Next up is Made London at the end of October, so it will be interesting to see how this experience influences my next body of work.

A blog about pottery, mugs, and all things clay by Mug Revolution, the handmade coffee mug specialist.
Juz Kitson lures her audience into an opulent garden and casts them out renewed: an encounter with her sublime installations provokes deeply affected responses. Kitson commands her talismanic objects to test the boundaries between contemporary ceramics and contemporary shamanism. Bringing together Dehua and Jingdezhen porcelain, often embellished with fur, Kitson creates a form of memento mori meets animist fetish. Overtly seductive, the works’ tension lies in resisting the conventions of traditional ceramic craft - the wheel and plinth, both central to ceramic traditions. Bound with mystique and feminine power, Kitson’s suspended chimeras become both captivating and unnerving, touching gently on a raw, surrealist nerve.Sydney born Kitson divides her time between Australia (where the bush is a rich hunting ground) and Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China, a country she first visited in 2009 to work with renowned installation artist Lin Tianmiao.
Lithic is my new line of sculptural vessels. It all began when I discovered this beautiful chocolaty clay. Unlike my previous pieces I decided to work purely with handbuilding techniques. I realized that off the wheel I could create more dramatic angles and severe curves. Lithic is the result of an experiment with new clay and new techniques. I can't wait to make more of them! But, that will have to wait for just a few months, because I am now working on another new and exciting project!!
