Stoneware plate handmade by Eva Kengen in her Belgian workshop.
It was in Japan, during a long trip, that Eva Kengen discovered turning, a central technique in her work as a ceramist. Clay allows him to explore the complementarity of opposites, to find a tenuous balance between textures, shapes and colors, while preserving the essential functionality of the object. The result is a universe where clean, intentionally imperfect lines meet a palette of natural tones. His stoneware pieces are made on a potter's wheel and enamelled by hand, in his workshop in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes.
MATERIALS : Light sandstone
TECHNIQUE : Potter's wheel
EMAIL : From personal research, soft wood ashes (birch/fir). It is the wood ash, gleaned, whether from fir, birch or oak, the close and local essences near Eva's workshop. His glazes are the result of long research and a very time-consuming ash washing process. They are changeable, as the organic matter will vary from year to year.
