Aimée ceramics will melt your heart with its silky texture, modern designs, and colorful pallet. Made from the chip-resistant, translucent porcelain clay, not only is it unforgettable but durable. There is something for everyone. From charming serving ware to unique sculptures for your home and office.
Working exclusively in translucent porcelain clay, each sculpture is made using wheel-thrown forms that are altered, added to, and constructed to interlock with corresponding pieces.
STEP 1: Sketch, Sketch, And More Sketching. Once I Decide On A Form, I Make Detailed Plans.
STEP 2: I Work Exclusively In Translucent, Porcelain Clay.
STEP 3: I use a wheel to throw my original shapes. They are perfectly symmetrical at this point.
STEP 4: Next, I alter these androgynous forms by rolling, cutting, or using other hand methods to customize each individual volume.
STEP 5: My sculptures use a unique process of creating interlocking shapes that t together. is means detailed engineering of the clay, which allows me to glaze each piece individually.
STEP 6: First fire. This is bisque firing prepares the pieces for glazing.
STEP 7: The glazing process involves layering 8 different glazes either by wiping on, dipping, and/or spraying. I then connect the individual pieces together in a gas-kiln where the glazes fuse the entire sculpture together during the course of a 20-hour firing.
STEP 8: The result of combining multiple ceramic forms creates a unique sculptural composition.
