Knitted ceramics

The German ceramist Annette Bugansky has created a series of knit porcelain vessels. Her mother knits the basic shapes in thick cotton yarn and they are transformed into molds where the porcelain clay is poured. The porcelain clay is then fired at a high temperature to get a semi-transparent matte surface.

The images is borrowed from the craft2eu.net website, where many interesting designers showcase their work. The London yarn store Loop also stocks some of Bugansky's work.
