Artisan ceramic vases – Rouge

During a collaboration with Maison Liaigre, Karen Swami developed this “Rouge” ceramic collection, with a shiny red glaze applied to a black earthenware. This work on color was accompanied by in-depth research into the behavior of molten glaze.

Several ceramic glazes melt more than others during ceramic firing, forming drops which accumulate at the base of the pieces. Rather than masking them, the ceramic artist chose to enhance them, transforming these drips into a strong visual element. Each ceramic vase becomes a work in movement, testifying to the process of creation and the transformation of matter under the effect of fire.
