Ceramic vase – Galuchat Kiwi

Karen Swami, contemporary ceramic artist based in Paris, creates in her workshop handmade pottery that incorporates a quest for authentic inspiration. This collection, composed mainly of dark brown ceramic vases, draws inspiration from arid and desert soils. The artist took up the challenge of reproducing this cracked effect by creating a brown glaze enriched in bone ash, applied on red sandstone. She then explored variations in colour and texture, transforming the evocation of the desert into a refined aesthetic reminiscent of the galuchat. By playing with different earths and metal oxides, these ceramic decoration vases subtly evoke the animal, plant or mineral world, highlighting the richness of materials and the craftsmanship of the artist ceramist Karen Swami.
