Working with clay fibers and coils is a dynamic technique that pushes the material’s limits while discovering new creative possibilities. It is very versatile, as you can work freely or very structured. The process involves balancing the clay’s flexibility and strength while ensuring it holds its shape, which requires patience and skill. In this project, I used clay fibers and coils on clay plates, weaving and braiding them into the surface. The soft, pliable clay fibers contrast with the flat plates, creating an interesting mix of flexibility and structure.
