Every type of production creates waste. With slip casting I create trimmings; the leftovers from cutting off excess clay. In continuation of my recycling research, I designed a new tableware collection made of 100% recycled porcelain.
Workshop leftovers
The trimmings used for this project are collected during the workshops I give, in my studio. In these workshops the participants can cast their own unique items and work with different colours of porcelain slip. The trimmings end up all on one pile. By remixing them all together with water, it turns into a grey slip. Due to variations, each batch has a slightly different hue.
Inspiration
Because reclaimed slip is too thick for regular casting, I experimented with new ways to apply it in the mould. By smearing it manually, layer by layer, it creates the most unique patterns and textures. Both inside and out. This way I can use the reclaim without the need to add new materials.
Being inspired by plastering techniques, I chose the name STUCCO. Turning waste into the most tactile collection I have made so far.
Live demonstrations @DDW
During this DDW I will do live demonstrations to show you the materials and techniques that led to this collection. You can find me at the Schellens Fabriek, Bleekweg 1.
