Summary
My work is in a space that straddles art, craft and design. This entry is a group of my ceramics decorated with my Keyboard surface design displayed on a paper print of the same design.
Organisation
Team
Mairi Ward is an artist, designer, maker based in Tasmania, Australia. She works in a variety of media including painting, print, paper construction and ceramics. Life is the core of her practice. In 2009 Mairi began to explore design, creating digital surface designs using imagery taken directly from her paintings. These designs have been printed onto a range of surfaces including fabric, paper and ceramic decals.
Inspiration/Method
The ceramic objects are slip cast Cool Ice porcelain, with glazed interiors and hand polished exteriors with decals. After the slip is first cast, each piece is extensively hand finished by shaping while wet followed by sanding before and after firing and during the application of decals. The Decal design is created using imagery from my paintings.
Design Challenge
Making a handmade object in the right price range.
