FACETED
The "FACET" collection is a journey of exploration, resilience, and artistic growth. Inspired by hot beverages, cold winters, and a exploration with texture, each cup in this limited edition embodies these themes.
​
An early mistake in the glaze application affected the first 40+ cups, rendering them unsuitable. This setback allowed time for a deep reflection on form and design, leading to a more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing final version. Produced as a limited edition, each vessel is numbered on the base from 1 to 100. There will be no more.
​
You grow over the course of making 100 cups and this collection represents the culmination of this artistic evolution. The form, handle, carvings, and white glaze finish were meticulously developed over months. The unanticipated challenges led to a deeper understanding of the materials and processes, resulting in a series of cups that are not just vessels but expressions of artistic growth and resilience.
​
Crafted from stoneware clays and wheel-thrown within 5mm tolerances each cup tells a story of variability and uniqueness, influenced by factors like clay mix, drying time, handling, glaze mixing, temperature changes, mood, and kiln placement. This variability is a testament to the beauty of handmade art, where each piece develops its own personality.
​
The "FACET" collection are siblings to be celebrated, each with its own story and character, shaped by the journey and the lessons learned.
Hope you enjoy as much as I did creating.
Made with love and intent 🖤 Frank Void​
