Untitled. Google Traduction. 2011 May « Fruitful harm. I have made my first foray into a 3rd dimension!
(I know. Most people live in 3 dimensions, but not me. Don’t even get me started on the 4th.) This medium of porcelain is also a first for me, a rare step outside of wood panels and glazed oil paint… though I couldn’t resist indulging in my dearest vice and surest standby, finishing these off with fine lines of gold striping enamel. Decorative habits die hard. I went into this experiment (learning porcelain slip casting from Peter Lutz, in a class at the Steel Yard) with one real intention; to let something unexpected happen.
I’m happy to say that my intention-to-be-less-intentional definitely bore some fruit. Anyway, the primary thing that I had completely and utterly failed to take into account when I first got the idea of casting porcelain thingies was that they would be hollow. Either way, I’m happy with the results. These are just a few photos… I’ve been loading the rest to flickr and even put a few in my Etsy store. Chinese Pears. Sena Gu Lemon Squeezer.

Etté studios: Reversed Volumes: Bowls Made From Veggies. I'm a little obsessed with veggies lately, especially since we started a new CSA program through Liberty Heights Fresh in SLC.
(Can't wait to eat the purple potatoes, spring onions, chard, fava beans, sausage and chevre!!) So these bowls spoke to me. The ceramic bowls are created by using vegetables as the mold and colored to resemble the color of the vegetable. Long lasting, beautiful and inspired by nature. You could easily make a whole series of these.

Nov 06, 2011 the making of: avolution avocados by C4 ‘avolution’ avocado ceramic dishes, amidst other works by c4 design studio image © designboom created by C4, the team of austrian creative director christiane büssgen and mexican designer 4lonso (jesús alonso), ‘avolution’ is a series of porcelain bowls that translates the form of an avocado to a permanent piece of dishware.
The product was borne out of the team’s interest in texture and natural materials, as well as the ubiquity and importance of avocados in mexican culture and cuisine. the avocado bowls are cast from a two-part mold formed from a real avocado. the designers utilize the smooth varietal of the fruit to create a brown model, whose exterior is left raw and interior is glazed; as well as the rougher hass species, used primarily to make white porcelain dishes. each piece is glazed by hand in brown, white, or a specialty colour glaze, and fired for 14 hours. full viewimage © designboom additional view concept sketch.
