Embroidered ceramics

  • • Zsuzsa experiments with different materials and techniques
  • • She combines embroidery and ceramics
  • • She uses dye between porcelain layers, a unique technical feat

Zsuzsa Boldizsár has always been captivated by the feeling of ‘flow’ when she is completely immersed, absorbed in the creative process. This meditative state is extremely inspiring to her – in addition to the multitude of expression possibilities arising from ceramics. She experiments a lot with pieces that combine traditions of porcelain making and those of decorative embroidery, which are intensely present in her own family traditions. Her pierced and embroidered items are items located at the border of everyday objects and works of fine art. In her latest works, she has been researching the technical possibilities of porcelain making: for example, she was able to implement dying material between the single porcelain layers using a unique method developed by herself.
