Constellations

clay, fine art

I am interested in light and ceramics, and the relationship that is created between the user and the vessel. I make the walls of the cup very thin so that when the cup is held up to the light, the porcelain is translucent and the cup appears to glow.

With this collection, I have pushed past translucency to transparency. The stars are created by puncturing entirely through the cup’s wall. The hole is later filled with glaze, creating a small transparent window.
