Pottery art clay design by Polona Zajc
Pottery art clay design by Polona Zajc includes a line of clay art products. These are products that are inspired by the artist's current inspiration. Some of them have been or will be exhibited in a ceramics exhibition or another exhibition. Some are made for a specific client who wanted to bring some art into their home. But mostly they are free pieces of clay, made just for the sake of it, for the sheer joy of shaping clay.
Free clay pieces
Free clay pieces are products that are not intended for anything. This does not mean that they serve nothing by their presence. Each one of these pieces can be placed in a space where it does its job. This is artistic ceramics. The inspiration for such design always comes from observing and perceiving nature, which is perfect in its colours and shapes. Some of this can also be expressed in the design of clay. Both with shapes and with colours. They are made from the pure joy of shaping clay. From the first process of moulding the clay into a shape to the process of colouring it. The final word in the creation of the free clay pieces, as well as all of pottery art clay design products, is given to the fire, through which each product must pass. The free clay pieces are the icing on the cake for the designer, because in the creation of these products he can afford all the freedom of design that clay offers.
