Blue- Stoneware and Porcelain Clay. Transparent Earthenware and Stoneware - 2019. Gallery certificate will be given to the buyer. Hanna Järlehed Hyving lives and works in in Gothenburg Hanna Järlehed Hyving trained in ceramics at the University of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg and is still based in the city. Her work revolves around her interest in ceramics’ many forms of expression. She mixes stoneware and porcelain clay, which she then forms freely. She usually works with transparent glazes in thick layers, which she fires in a combined electric and gas kiln. “I love it that clay has endless possibilities, but that it also gives a lot of resistance and challenges. The smallest change I make in the choice of materials or in the way I work leads to new unforeseen consequences.” The artist’s creative work evolves around her interest in the ceramic materials and their different expressions. Water has been a reoccurring theme and this is also to be seen in these creations. Hanna is using the china clay for the white colour giving her glazes the perfect backing and the stoneware for its strength and solidity. The thick layers of transparent glazes get their vibrant surfaces through a reduction firing process in a combined gas and an electric kiln.
