Story

This is the Bareino, the bare version of the original Zebrino. Basically a Zebrino without the lines :)

This is the Wild Clay Edition. his month, I had the privilege of learning about wild clay with Anja Slapnicar

Not only was it fun, but it was also very insightful! I seriously learned a lot ♥︎ It ignited a spark of exploration and curiosity, for which I am very grateful. I’ve discovered more about myself through this process.

I took that spirit of exploration to my studio and used some leftovers from the Slovenian clay we worked with during the workshop, integrating them into my practices.

I converted one of those wild clays into slip (by adding a bit more water) and placed it on top of this porcelain bareino. After the bisque firing, the wild clay shrank much more than the vase, which meant that the wild clay part flaked off of the bareino. Some of it stayed, so I decided to glaze it anyway. And this beautiful result came into play. Sometimes mistakes make amazing new beauties that we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves.

One of my Zebrino Vases was exhibited on September 2023 during the Paris Design Week at a gallery organized by 1000vases. (*fangirling*). This is the famous Zebrino / the first & smaller version. I really love this version because it is the first one I have tried with a different line pattern. And I am really liking this!

I really put so much effort into some postcards written in 3rd person to feel important when I give people the postcards. I worked so hard on the text, so that’s the text you’re getting here.

 

“A staging of how restrictions can enhance creativity. The artist creates vase-like sculptures that play with two separate shapes – a cylinder and a disc-orb – transforming them into various possibilities. By using porcelain as a medium, it is possible to cut the shapes into multiple pieces and place them in a way that creates something new every time. These sculptures are then hand-painted with sharp-edged lines to enhance the contrast of the natural white porcelain. The artist saw comparability to a zebra with its black and white lines and a dinosaur with their multiple handles added in different parts of the sculpture’s body. These animalistic resemblances came to unite the name for this series: Zebrino.”
