This ceramics artwork, of course, had more steps. Here are some of them in the form of a gallery. As you can see the cast piece is very fragile. The one below cracked when I transported it. Porcelain liquid clay is quite expensive.

A 3D model

I carefully modelled a vase in blender 3D. It is very special if you look at it, it is a cylinder in the bottom and formed as a square with 2 rounded corners and 2 sharp corners at the top.

A 3D printed vase

Here you see the vase 3D printed in extra strong PEGT plastic. It is now ready to be used in the creation of a plaster mold. Unfortunately I have no images of the mold making  process.

Adding Uniques 

Here you see the casted vase. It is made with special liquid porcelain clay. In order to add uniqueness I sponged the the top corners imperfectly. Here you see it covered with 4 different glazes in a random way.

Wabi Sabi vase design

The spirit of Wabi Sabi

In Wabi Sabi aesthetics there is focus on oldness and wear and tear as qualities in contrast to new and perfect. Here are two images that celebrate wear and decay as qualities. For more read my article about Wabi Sabi art creation here.

A little Wabi Sabi poem

Vase wabi sabi poem

 

In a quiet corner, bathed in muted light,

A small Wabi Sabi vase catches the eye.

Imperfect and humble, yet appreciated and rare, It displays a tale of beauty beyond compare.

Imperfection, a charm that time confirms.
With simplicity it stands, a vessel small,
Embracing the dents, the scars, and all.
No need for perfection in porcelain vases.

 

For Wabi Sabi whispers, "Flaws, an embrace." Each wrinkle, a story, each dent, a line, A celebration of life, so beautifully defined. In this small vase, imperfect and true.

Here you see the casted vase. It is made with special liquid porcelain clay. In order to add uniqueness I sponged the the top corners imperfectly. Here you see it covered with 4 different glazes in a random way.
