Motifs
Functional Ceramic Pieces
This collection documents my research on designing patterns (“motifs” in French) in the clay itself using mainly the Nerikomi technique but also Neriage and various slip techniques to create functional ceramic pieces, with a preference for Mobius vases and other vase shapes.
