In her words:
“I was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on 22nd of march, 1975. I discovered love for ceramics early in my childhood, as I was digging clay from a stream nearby, making animal figures and then firing them in our heating kiln. Unsuccessfully, of course. I was 7 years old. Then later, after some courses in primary school, drawing in secondary school, real ceramic study started with experimenting in ceramic studio on Academy of educational art in Ljubljana , where finally I graduated from ceramics. Now, I am working mainly with porcelain and stoneware. I make my own plaster moulds and I am slip casting. In my studio in Ljubljana you can find fine porcelain for everyday use, porcelain installations from numerous exhibitions, both Slovene and international, and also beloved jewellery, also made of porcelain and silver. My love for porcelain is because of its whiteness, translucency and seeming fragility, sometimes it does not need any colour or even glaze. Because ceramics is sum of different fields, such as art, design, physics, chemistry and technology, is so complex I can never stop learning about new techniques and materials. We can never say that we are at the end of ceramics.”

is it Friday already? Oh dear indeed. I just realized I haven’t posted since tuesday and have no site 2 see friday post for you all today either. Sadly it a sign of where my head is at these days. Craft sale mode. We got buried in with snow all day yesturday which is going to make my car packing and uploading today a bit hectic and well, bloody cold and wet. Hopefully the crowds of shoppers won’t stay home.
Today is sale number 3 of 5 and it’s a big one. I’m honored to be included in this year’s Artisans. There’s going to be so much great stuff there it’ll be hard not to spend my hard earned dollars. Do stop by if you’re in the area.
And I promise i’ll stop being a blog slacker as soon as craft sale season is over….

“tradition is not just repetition, but is made with layers of present moments.
spanish designer jaime hayón has designed a range of porcelain tableware for traditional japanese porcelain company choemon, in collaboration with japanese product design brand maruwakaya.
for the first time on show in tokyo earlier this month was the ‘kamide choemon – gama for jaime hayòn collection‘, a series of tableware with delicate japanese ornaments, elements freely interpreted and translated by hayon into actors of a contemporary table setting scenery.”
