lace1
i’m really excited to check out this show in manhattan later this week: designer kristen wicklund is showing a beautiful collection of crocheted cotton lace dipped in liquid porcelain. after kristen dips the lace in porcelain she fires it in a mold; during the firing the fiber burns out completely and leaves a (gorgeous) hollow porcelain shell of lace.

the show is taking place at greenwich house pottery until december 20th, so if you’re in town for the holidays, be sure to check it out! thanks, kristen!

*stay tuned for another dipping-related diy project today at 12! the biz ladies will be back next week

I love lace, this is beautiful and very clever

December 15th, 2009 - 10:38 am

that blows my mind… how each detail gets covered well enough to hold it all together, but doesn’t look clumpy… wonder how many end up in the trash bin? Thanks for sharing!

Those are wonderful! I like how they keep the knots and texture of the crochet.

They remind me of these antique porcelain figurines my nana has, they have “lace” on their gowns that is made the same way. It always fascinated me.

These are stunning! I wonder if there is a DIY way to make something similar looking? Kind of a-la record bowls made in the oven? Hmmm….I’ll have to think on that. If anyone has a suggestion or an idea….

December 15th, 2009 - 10:58 am

Amazing!

December 15th, 2009 - 12:37 pm

That process sounds amazing. How do people come up with these ideas I wonder! They are really beautiful pieces.

December 15th, 2009 - 1:18 pm

Hi – Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback! It is rather overwhelming. For those that are interested in purchasing an individual piece, I’ll be posting whatever doesn’t sell at the Greenwich House show on etsy next week. Please email me if you’d like to be notified or check etsy next Wednesday.

Does Kristen also make the doilies before glazing and firing them? This sort of art makes me truly appreciate the skill involved! Some things I look at and think, “I could do that.” But this, this is a craft obviously honed by a truly talented artist. BRAVO!

December 15th, 2009 - 3:14 pm

stunning!

December 15th, 2009 - 3:24 pm

I gasped and then had to show my co-workers why i was gasping. not so good at hiding my work distractions!

This sort of “pottery” is always interesting to see whether it’s a type of fabric or crochet.

It’s very basic and requires no skills however, but for the dipping into liquid clay , it’s been around forever.
