ceramic art london 2013
I was in London this weekend mostly because of Ceramic art London 2013 which was held in Royal College of Art. This was my first top-end show of ceramics; it was international and 2 of my favourite ceramicists were there: Jack Doherty and Shinobu Hashimoto. It was different than Gmunden pottery market, although I remember … Continued
27 cups and 5 chawans
I made 27 cups in one month. This is what I would usually do in a day back in Slovenia. A good potter makes 30 per hour. I still haven’t figured out how will I do this. I have no motivation and no kiln where I could fire my clay. I believe the last two … Continued

Vinski stoli
Tokrat pišem o posebnih stolih, ki jih izdeluje moj poseben stric Janez Avsenik iz Straže. Že pri naslovu sem mi je zataknilo, ker želim o teh stolih pisati na najlepši možen način, ne zaradi stolov samih (čeprav so res posebni), ampak tudi zaradi mojega strica, najboljšega strica na celem svetu!Ime je pomemben in mogočen dejavnik. … Continued

Največ sem ustvarjala skodelice brez ročk; sem ugotovila, da so ročke takooo dolgočasne za pritrjevanje:) Ročke potrebujejo navdih. Glina, ki sem jo … Continued

ČRNI KONJI: CHAWANI
Pride dan, ko se ti rušijo sanje, ko padajo zvezde, a niso utrinki (Žagar, 2001). Vsake toliko, pa pride tudi dan, ko veš, da je dober in da delaš dobro! To se mi je zgodilo danes. Včeraj sem vrtela nove chawane. Kaj je CHAWAN (kitajsko 茶碗, dobesedno čajna skleda ali posoda)? Je posoda, v kateri … Continued
