Porcelain collection #2: Eternal spring
This series of hand-painted porcelain plates was created in a remote village in the Austrian Alps during a long, snowy winter. Outside the white of the snow, inside the white of the porcelain. Winter, the season of introversion, with the sense of endlessness and stillness it brings, is a good time to work with porcelain. it is also a good time to reflect on past wanderings through the South and to dream of new ones.
Infused with memories of the Mediterranean, and the joyful anticipation of spring, images of palm trees, fruit, and ocean divers appeared on the white of my porcelain plates.

Porcelain is a fine and delicate material whose secret was guarded by the Chinese for centuries – and obsessing the Europeans.
Porcelain is something totally different than clay: It is made from two different materials, kaolin and petunse.
Porcelain is translucent – it is, even if it seems more delicate, harder, and more durable than clay, but also much more difficult to work with.
It's harder to model because it is like chewing gum in your hands, but it's also more difficult also because it breaks easier and it has a memory and might change its shape during firing.
If all goes well, although you never know, the result is amazing: You get extremely thin and white plates that let light pass through.
This small collection of porcelain plates features a joyful bunch of fantastical creatures. Each piece is handmade and hand-painted, making each one of them unique.
