Unconventional Beauty of Wabi-Sabi Style:
Painting ceramics in the wabi-sabi style has the ability to transfer not only images but also the emotions and thoughts of the creator onto the surface of the vessel. Each brushstroke is like a new breath of nature, and every unintended irregularity or spot becomes an integral part of the artwork.
Method of Creation
Slipcasting in Fóbe is a process that demands precision, patience, and ceramic skills.
Each vessel made through this method is unique and reflects the creator's effort and the character of the ceramics. Each stage of this process holds immense significance in achieving high-quality ceramicware. Creating the mold, proper pouring of the ceramic slip, careful drying and mold opening, and then refining the details are just a few of the key steps in this process.
Furthermore, the initial firing in the ceramic kiln, application of glaze, and the subsequent firing significantly influence the final appearance and durability of the ceramics. Asa result, the vessels not only captivate with aesthetics but also serve practical purposes. The slipcasting process in Fóbe beautifully merges art and craftsmanship, crafting vessels that are both distinctive and functional.

Delicate brush touch
Layered glaze painting is an advanced technique in Japanese ceramics that achieves unique color and textural effects on the surface of pottery. This method involves applying different layers of glaze to ceramic vessels to achieve a rich, multi-layered palette of colors and effects.
The process of layered glaze painting is intricate and requires precision. Here's a general guide on how this technique works:
1. Base Glaze Layer: Initially, the ceramic vessel is coated with a base layer of glaze. This glaze can be white, clear, or any other color. The base layer provides the foundation for subsequent layers and influences the final outcome.
2. Application of Additional Layers: Next, the artist applies additional layers of glaze onto the base. Each layer can have a different color or texture. For instance, the artist may apply thin layers of glaze in various shades, creating subtle color transitions.
3. Creating Textural Effects: During layered glaze painting, artists can also create textural effects by applying glaze in different thicknesses. This can result in crackled, wavy glaze effects or delicate surface structures.
4. High-Temperature Firing: After applying all layers of glaze, the vessel undergoes high-temperature firing in a kiln. During firing, the glazes melt and fuse with the ceramic, creating durable and fused coatings.
5. Effects of Firing: High-temperature firing can influence the final appearance of the glaze. It may lead to crackle effects, smudges, or other unpredictable patterns that impart a distinctive character to the ceramic.
