Relics Working with old traditions of Raku and Kintsugi these ceramics are pit fired and put back together because of the stressful firing process they endure. With these processes I’m trying to give them a feel of unearthed and precious relics. Working with influenced traditions of Raku and Kintsugi these techniques truly add a touch of authenticity and time to the ceramics. The process of pit firing not only infuses the pieces with an earthly feel but also gives them a sense of being discovered treasures. Kintsugi this art form beautifully embraces imperfections and celebrates the history and resilience of the ceramics. These artworks are more than mere objects; they become connections to our roots and reminders of our shared humanity.
