LASERGLAZING

Laserglazing is a new way of glazing ceramics with the use of a computer-controlled laser. Through experimental research that combines both disciplines, this innovative technique has been developed. Exploring the versatility of the machine, firing glazes without the need of a kiln. The groundbreaking method harnesses the unique interaction between glazes and the laser beam, resulting in extraordinary finishes, colours and textures. Blurring the lines between crafts and technology, unveiling the potential of both disciplines within the field of custom glazed ceramics.

What began as an coincidental experiment has grown into this research project on ceramic objects. When applying this new technique, various design choices have been made considering the limitations of a laser machine. An obsession with colour combinations and photography results in an intriguing library of images and a distinct visual language. The objects and their finishes stem from these fascinations, giving rise to a series of applied art.
