Thanks for everyone reacting to the post with this Ring cup. Your feedback is invaluable 😊 I still have some design development work to do, test different handle profiles. If I would produce this design it would require a special mould for solid casting. And that’s something I have not done- mould and cast. One way to test it is with something small, so a baby espresso cup for this matter was born 😇 I’ll keep working on it and thanks everyone for a positive response! #pottery #handmade #craft #craftpeople #selftaught #learningcrafts #artsandcrafts #learningnewthings #mouldmaking #studiolife #newstart #londonmakers #designermaker #modernceramics #contemporaryceramics #designinspiration #tableware #homewares #homeinspo #minimalism #conciousliving #slowliving #beautifulhomes #mystory

Currently I’m exploring new way of designing ceramics. It’s a less geometric and more organic approach to shape creation and I would like to share the process and ideas behind it. —— I start with hand doodles. Usually I know what type of vessel or vessels I’m working on. The sessions last for some time until I absorb previous experiences and ideas and focus on letting those out through quick sketch. This is only one of many pages in the session. —- Next stage is tracing. I select pieces that I think have potential. At this stage my mind is switched of and I’m enjoying a repeat of the real thing: I’m tracing lines and feeling the memories at the same time. —— Shapes are revolved in digital environment and I can get a better view. At this point I can evaluate sizes and volumes thinking about suitable functions like coffee shots, wine and beer, etc. —— Next up is amazing 3d printing technology. I don’t know what I would do without it. Physical prototypes helps to get an idea about real life size, feel and grip of the vessel, how it looks in space and time looking from different angles. One thing to note that 3d printed plastic is not an accurate representation of sturdy ceramics and that needs to be considered when judging the holding of the vessel. —— This new process is more intuitive and draws from past experiences and evolves on current inspirations. I’m searching for images and shapes that looks fresh but still relatable. It’s about secluded mind moments and honouring the idea and the image that comes to my imagination with a goal of sharing the creation with others. #pottery #handmade #craft #craftpeople #selftaught #learningcrafts #artsandcrafts #learningnewthings #mouldmaking #studiolife #newstart #londonmakers #designermaker #modernceramics #contemporaryceramics #designinspiration #tableware #homewares #homeinspo #minimalism #conciousliving #slowliving #beautifulhomes #mystory

I have made this cup slightly asymmetrical in shape to be very interactive. The way you could it to drink from it, way you put it down and then need to adjust picking it up. This interaction makes you shift your mind from whatever is happening around to a thing that you are doing now- drinking coffee or tea :) Slanted cup is made from white Parian porcelain. This material is translucent in the right light and self-glazing properties gives slight satin sheen to the surface. A hypnotising combo. Raw exterior with clear gloss glaze to the inside and it’s around 180ml volume. #pottery #handmade #craft #craftpeople #selftaught #learningcrafts #artsandcrafts #learningnewthings #mouldmaking #studiolife #newstart #londonmakers #designermaker #modernceramics #contemporaryceramics #designinspiration #tableware #homewares #homeinspo #minimalism #conciousliving #slowliving #beautifulhomes #costhings

I have made Decay cup as an experiment of creative process. Usually I like to generate ideas thinking about functionality and personal relationship through interactions. I do use cad software to bring my designs to life a lot. But for this piece I just sketched a profile by hand. Took a picture of it, traced it and made digital model. It’s strange how thinking about the main idea, how shape can adjust our preference to use the object, was so embedded in my mind that the first hand sketch was a perfect answer to the theme. #pottery #handmade #craft #craftpeople #selftaught #learningcrafts #artsandcrafts #learningnewthings #mouldmaking #studiolife #newstart #londonmakers #designermaker #modernceramics #contemporaryceramics #designinspiration #tableware #homewares #homeinspo #minimalism #conciousliving #slowliving #beautifulhomes #costhings

Trio of cups. When I started sketching designs for one cup I have developed an idea: how a round cup without a handle have a direction. A cup with a handle give us an indication how to use it, and depending which hand we use the object gets a preferred side. I wanted to explore this idea of preference and how simple shape tweaks can make adjustments in the way we hold and drink from the cup. Final selection are these 3 distinct shapes. Different in looks but created with the same idea. #pottery #handmade #craft #craftpeople #selftaught #learningcrafts #artsandcrafts #learningnewthings #mouldmaking #studiolife #newstart #londonmakers #designermaker #modernceramics #contemporaryceramics #designinspiration #tableware #homewares #homeinspo #minimalism #conciousliving #slowliving #beautifulhomes #mystory

A snap from this morning. I’m keeping my profesh camera in the studio all the time now. And this light at the peak of the day was amazing. Wanted to crop and post some pix about objé I have recently made that you could come and purchase. Studio visit, holiday vibes and all of that. But here we are in full lockdown :( Drinks up! At home, while shops are open. It’s a French 75 for me tonight. ;) #pottery #handmade #craft #craftpeople #selftaught #learningcrafts #artsandcrafts #learningnewthings #mouldmaking #studiolife #newstart #londonmakers #designermaker #modernceramics #contemporaryceramics #designinspiration #tableware #homewares #homeinspo #minimalism #conciousliving #slowliving #beautifulhomes #costhings

Why does it look like this? I chose to make ceramics as a liberating creative outlet. Shape creation for me is observations and stories transformed into something solid. Here is a salt shaker in black porcelain.

Exploring that wabi-sabi combo. Many years ago, when the idea of being a self-taught product designer was very fresh , I decided to build my material knowledge. So I have bought some timber blanks, all possible wood varieties that supplier had. It was 14 in total. They have been sitting in the box ever since, moving houses together with me. Up until now. I was thinking about an alternative to make things. Slip casting is a process-intense way, from design to shape, to mould, to object. And I wanted to make something that would be complimentary to the things I already make. And here it is, my first handmade solid cedar wood coaster. It’s all kinds of cute with shape irregularities as I needed to adjust while sanding it by hand. I’ll be making these from all the different woods I have, it’s gonna be my therapy for now. Hope you like it! #pottery #handmade #craft #craftpeople #selftaught #learningcrafts #artsandcrafts #learningnewthings #mouldmaking #studiolife #newstart #londonmakers #designermaker #modernceramics #contemporaryceramics #designinspiration #tableware #homewares #homeinspo #minimalism #conciousliving #slowliving #beautifulhomes #costhings
