Frogs
Some oldies hanging on my studio wall -techniques and themes to be revisited one day. It´s sometimes good to hide away from yourself pieces and to be positively surprised when digging them out again.

Fragments
Fragments,
Piia Lieste & Elina Malmberg
Galleria
Paperihuone, Hämeenlinna 1.12. – 15.12.2017
Piia
Liesteen keramiikkaa ja Elina Malmbergin piirustuksia yhdistävät viivan käyttö
sekä
japanilaisesta estetiikasta saadut vaikutteet epätäydellisyyden ja
keskeneräisyyden kauneudesta.
He tapasivat Lapin yliopistossa Rovaniemellä 90-luvun lopulla ja opiskelivat yhdessä
graafisen suunnittelun koulutusohjelmassa. Näyttelystä voikin välittyä
viittauksia graafiseen
muotoiluun.
Lieste
tarkastelee keramiikan ja katutaiteen suhdetta. Hänen Tags-sarjassaan tägien
eli graffititaiteilijoiden
nopeiden nimikirjoitusten estetiikka kääntyy keramiikan kielelle, kolmiulotteisiksi
viivoiksi. Liesteen teos Fragile puolestaan rakentuu posliinisista tähti&rasti
-laatoista, joita hän myös usein sijoittaa urbaaneihin ympäristöihin
guerillataiteen hengessä. Malmbergin suurikokoiset lyijykynäpiirustukset ovat
osa Kuvataiteen aineopintoja, jotka Lapin yliopisto järjestää yhdessä Hämeen
kesäyliopiston kanssa. Lopputyössään Malmberg on tutkinut arkisen
piirustusvälineen ja hitaan tekniikan mahdollisuuksia
isolla paperilla. Olennaisena elementtinä teoksissa on tyhjä tila.

Hauras Metsä/ Fragile Forest
This is the first take on placing my Hauras/Fragile tiles on an environmental art context at Sierijärvi, Rovaniemi. With the word hauras/fragile I´m refering of course to the material itself but also to the history of the human race and living in the the middle of climate change. It´s fascinating how the surroundings is always transforming the work and how to read it.

Tiles piling up!
And the Spring is late. Waiting for the warmth, the perfect days for the glue to dry up fast.
Well I can always make more while waiting.

Product development -plates, Spring 2017, 3/3
Small geometric serving plates set. The shapes are freely cut from rolled slaps. Next step is to make templates and make bigger ones too.
Product development -plates, Spring 2017, 2/3
I found some worn out metal plates in the fleamarkets and I desided to give them another life in clay. I simply cut the outlines on a rolled slap and press it on the metal plate. From that came prototypes for Aarre² (Treasure²) series. I love this silky shiny white glaze, it reminds me of mint candies. I leave the back unglazed and don´t clean up the dribbles. The deeper plate proved to be perfect for pasta!
Product development -plates, Spring 2017, 1/3
I started the year in the studio by doing what ever came to my mind. I wanted to have fun and experiment a bit before "serious" work. So I made small series of handmade tableware. The first set came from my own need for small (sandwich/cake) plates. I used disposable paper plates in the making for keeping them stackable. Took this bunch home for everyday-use testing and the glaze already cracked. The clay I used for these was recycled mixture, so this glaze might might still with work with another mass. Next is to test different combinations of stonewares and clear glazes. On the engobe decoration I prefer the "less is more"-ones. Will definitely continue on this style of layering brush strokes.
Here´s a great guide for for slab-built plates:
