Ceramics - Wine Bottle

Afbeelding
This is a project I am currently working on. It is about designing a bottle, with your own interpretation. My idea was about giving blind people the ability to read their own information on the products. In my case I wanted to design a wine bottle with braille on it. The reason I chose wine is because people have a unique interpretation of taste. For example, if you ask 3 different people at the supermarket to point a dry white wine out to you, you'll  most likely  get about 2 or 3 different suggestions. Because of this, it is very important that you can read the description for yourself.  This is the shape I started from. I chose this shape because I wanted to add braille on top of it and this shape reminded me of an open book.   I added the 'braille' on top of the form. When I had the form, and was  s atisfied with it, I started to make the  casting mold.. Following: A few final results.  The la...

New Project - Closet with braille covered porselain cups

Afbeelding
I just started working on a new project. It is a follow up from the Wine bottle and the Braille project with the drawings translated.  The idea is:  A closet for cups against the wall. But not like we know them - staying on the ground - but hanging at the wall. The outline is a frame like we know them around a painting.  As a base I want to use my drawings again. The 'world' you can see there I cut it in pieces and describe those pieces with text. This text is invert in braille and the braille will cover the cups. So that on each cup there will be a little piece of a big 'world' readable.  If you have the total work you have a closet full of cups with little pieces of a big 'world' on it. You as an owner/user from these cups can arrange your own 'world'. In most of the cases people with sight are not able to read what is on the cups, so you have the control about it but you have no idea what your doing. This is an interesting idea I like...

Japanese water colour woodcut

Afbeelding
2 weeks ago I started a course about Japanese water colour woodcuts. We have had some information about the technique so far and we got the blocks, now we have to make a sketch and start cutting.  I am thinking of staying in the theme of my last woodcut. My interests go out to Medusa  I am working on the sketches at the moment. Firts results, it is a pretty difficult thing to do. The wood chips pretty easy so I make a lot of 'mistake' but maybe that is not a big problem at the end, lets hope. Finished both of the blocks and printed them, I was surprised by the result. I already send them home so I could not make a picture, but I will do this when I am home.
