There are so many questions on my reel about my process making these knitted porcelain pieces. Trying to answer the most common ones here! One last common one -“You know you can’t use them as vases because they have holes???” Yes! I know! I use them for dry flowers. You’re cute, though. 💐 🧶 . . ]details for makers] cotton yarn (always harvested from the cotton yarn already in my life - old sweaters, leftovers, etc, etc) Now being knitted into forms, slowly coated in porcelain slip.

It’s dark this morning in Michigan. I love the dark blue luminaries at night, but the white and lighter ones really shine during the day. ✨ 🧶 . [details for makers] part of making these is letting go of control. As all potters know, that last firing is make or break - literally - and we have to accept that the final shape is to a certain extent out of our control 📝 . . #knittedporcelain #knitting #fiberart #porcelainart

The machines can never compete with the artistry passed through generations. 🧶 . . [details for makers] Yes, it has to be 100% natural fibers for the yarn. You do not want to burn plastic. . #knittedporcelain #knitting #ceramics #ceramicart #yarnrecycling
