PAPERED BLUE

Flowervase made of paper, with four different ceramic patterns printed on.

By weaving them together into a grid, a new vase with patterns that changes according to the direction you look at it was created. Besides, this flat folding form makes packaging and stocking easier. The beauty of ceramics is normally determined by excellent handcrafting skills and the decorative patterns drawn on them. However, if only one element of earthenware, the decoration, was extracted and combined with another material, is it still possible that the result can be called “craft”? This is an experimental project to think about what elements make up the ceramic craft.
