Christmas Star - The story of ceramics ornament inspired by origami
In the end, I set out to make Christmas ornaments inspired by Origami. As this art has its recreational version, I felt it can be moved further to be expressed in different materials. Taking into account Its delicate beauty and its tradition I chose the most suitable ceramic material - porcelain. Not only for its strong tradition and ties to Asian ceramics culture but also its ability to best reflect the delicacy of the origami itself. Porcelain is one of the trickiest materials in ceramics there is. It is rightly surrounded by different myths. Not because the myths would have any merit, but because it is just very hard material to work with, It is unforgiving, so inevitably the myths follow. From the start, having the idea I had to reach out to find someone to help, the new technologies are tricky for me. I reach out to my former student. Now M.A. Sebastian Vlasák not only helped with what I asked for but as the all planning and executing took its course, he become necessary and a great help in the process. Yes, while working on this project, I found myself a new colleague.
