The post Flowers and Plants Grow Out of Ceramics in the Works of Kaori Kurihara appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>Each of Kurihara’s works consists of a base with intriguing patterns and twists, resembling a fruit found in nature but featuring elements of creative freedom. From them, beautiful flowers and other parts emerge, adding another layer of complexity to each piece.
On her website, Kurihara says that plants and their growth provide her with an endless source of inspiration. Sometimes, she even grows plants in her studio, observing each stage to get a better insight into the process.
“I take inspiration from the plant world with particular attention to forms and their geometric repetition, “Kurihara says about her works. “Every element of nature seems to repeat itself, but in fact, there is an infinite variety of it. I have the deep desire to make concrete the fruits represented in my mind and to be able to contemplate them through my own eyes.”
Kurihara, who is currently working out of her studio in Paris, France, frequently shares her new ceramic pieces on social media. Scroll down to check out more of them.

]]>“Ceramics has always been a material that records action very easily,” the artist told WePresent, “basically turning intimate gestures into stone.” His vases and other ceramic items are decorated with parts of comics that form unusual patterns. Each composition looks accidental and purposeful at the same time, like a weird sketchbook that captures the artist’s authentic style.

]]>“I want my pieces to create moments where people look back at their intentions and how they want to operate in the world, what they wish to see or have or be or connect with,” she once remarked in an interview with Matter of Hand. “Just bringing them back into the present and connecting them to the beauty of the world; that’s a moment where everyone feels really good. It’s like touching ground before you go off into the craziness.”
Part of her ceramic objects’ appeal is that they’re all handmade, either hand-built or thrown on the wheel, after which they are hand-painted, adding a personal touch to them. Other than ceramics, Quan also works with other organic materials that include hand-dyed cotton, hemp rope, and reclaimed wood.
“When making things I have to see it in my head first,” she explains, talking about the creative process that goes behind the scenes. “I have to be able to see the process linearly,” stresses Quan. “Once I figure out how to make something the first time I’ll make a template so that I don’t have to re-think it every time. If you have to think too hard it’s more exhausting.”
Take a look at some of her original designs in the gallery below.

]]>As Yanting said in an interview with Neocha, he starts sculpting human faces with an empty mind and no specific character designs in mind. The passion for creating these whimsical ceramics comes from his interest in human relationships and the way people read other people’s facial expressions.
“Maybe a face will remind someone of an old friend, a family member, or the coffee shop owner down the street. By leading viewers to experience everyday items that have different faces, I hope to explore this phenomenon in my work,” the artist said.

Since graduating from Oxford Brookes University, having studied Fine Art, Rosi has managed to make a name for herself as both illustrator and graphic designer. “I would love to work solely for myself and be a full-time illustrator and ceramicist,” she says. “I also hope to have a small studio where I can teach a few workshops.”
In the meantime, her Instagram following has grown to a respectable size of over 6k, pushing the conversation about body image forward.

]]>But it took Tavill sometime before she decided on her artistic voice, having first pursued a career in fashion. It was only in 2003 that she came across clay, and a love story ensued. Working from her studio based on the New Jersey shore, her process includes wheel throwing and hand-building, altering and distorting forms before deeply carving, hand texturing and surface detailing her creations.
Firing the clay twice allows for the addition of delicate glazing work and the melting of crushed glass for additional surface interest. According to her, this process is long and involved, requiring both planning and improvisation.
But it’s a process that is worthwhile, judging by the finished result.

]]>But when it comes to his inspiration, the Hawaii-based ceramic artist admits it’s varied. “There are so many different things that I am interested in, music, photography, just all different arts,” he told The Potters Cast. “There would be too many to list just one. I pull inspiration from all different places.”
After 17 years of creating miniatures, the self-taught artist has truly honed his craft. But he admits that when he first discovered ceramic art he assigned to the notion that “the bigger the better.” It was only after coming across a book called Creating Ceramic Miniatures that he saw things differently.
Working on small-scaled objects was much harder then he imagined, requiring him to test different clay bodies, make his own tools, and trying out new techniques. Here are some of our favorite creations by him:

With a background in fashion and graphic design, Julieta Alvarez fell in love with ceramics after taking a ceramics course. “I needed a change and I decided to take a course imparted by Resu Labrador, an artisan that had a workshop near home,” she shared in an interview Cup of Couple. “I used to go there full of ideas, and she taught me different techniques to achieve my objectives. Since then, I haven’t stopped!”
“I’m in love with ceramic because is a material that allows almost everything,” she went on to explain. “You can experiment with it, try new things, learn, make jewelry, sculptures or just disconnect from the world and lose track of time.”
