Soft Ceramics
Textile imprint on ceramics
2023
This project investigates how textiles can be used as molds in the ceramic process. Inspired by the construction of patterns in textile design, I approached ceramics, an unfamiliar medium to me as a way to translate soft forms into solid ones. I begin by shaping fabric, often through sewing or draping, into structures. These are then stabilized with the casting of slip clay.After the firing, the textile as left inprints on the ceramic preserving the texture, folds, and seams of the original material. The process merges the logic of garment-making with the unpredictability of ceramics, creating objects that bridge softness and permanence.
