About the making process
Eslem & Elise the vases are hand built with much care and love, from a pre-designed sketch. In this technique, two clay slabs of similar shapes are carefully bent several times during the drying process, and then attached together. The edges are then strengthened with a role of fresh clay, after which the piece is finished off with a wet sponge and sculpting tools and painted by hand. I have learned this technique from Noot & Swart studio in Utrecht and have been using it more frequently lately. What I love about this technique is that it lets you explore new shapes and designs easily as you get to realize any drawn shape in a ceramic pot or vase.
