Ceramics – beyond the teacup
Hi, I’m Karin and I’ll be writing every other week about ceramics. If I can’t contain myself, it might be more frequent postings.
To start things off, I’d like to introduce you to the wide variety of applications for clay – interior, tableware, fashion, medical…to mention a few.
Helena Hedegaard is a danish ceramic designer/maker of porcelain lighting.
Teapots have iconic status in the ceramics universe and deserve their very own posting (if not their very own blog). This celadon glazed teapot is made by one of my favourite british potters, Chris Keenan.
The other day MoCo LoCo posted about handbags with ceramic handles or pockets, by Lisa Smith.
I can almost picture Captain James Hook with this delft eye patch by Damian O’Sullivan.
Next time, I’ll start from the top and talk about one of the techniques used to decorate ceramic surfaces.

Great post I am looking forward to more, especially wondering if you know how to use a Gocco for printing directly onto bisque or for making transfers?
