This playful ceramic installation in black, white and earth colours is a tribute to the spoon, a very personal and intimate tool found in every culture. The spoons are made from various clays, porcelain, stoneware and earthenware, and are made with different techniques. They are slip cast and pressed in plaster moulds, or hand pinched and carved by hand.

These utilitarian kitchenware items, handcrafted from slip cast stained porcelain, are intended for preserving food or small objects. The rounded square shaped boxes in different tones of grey and pastel colours are produced in small series. The edges of the lids have a colour stripe. The objects are cast in plaster moulds with two separate colour layers. After drying, parts of the top layer are removed with a sponge, revealing the colour beneath.
