A new candle holder II

And finally after painting with glazes and paints selected, the new candle holder is finished.
This is a passage from old to modern. Traditional techniques adapted to the objects of modern times.

A new candle holder

After the ceramic candle holder has been manufactured in the potter's wheel and was all cut by hand, was burned at 1000 degrees.
I am currently doing the study of the color and this one will be done especially in shades of blue and white.
The inspiration comes from Dutch and Portuguese pottery.
Beside the luminaria is a small column Dutch, restored by me, and a fragment of a Portuguese tile XVII sec.

Molduras

Esta moldura para espelho ficou com umas cores lindissimas, estou francamente apaixonada por ela.

Foi toda modelada á mão e foram bastantes horas de trabalho. Valeu a pena.

This frame for the mirror got some gorgeous colors, I am deeply in love with her. It was all shaped by hand and have enough hours of work. Worth it.

Onde tudo acontece

A ceramica entrou na minha vida atravez da conservação e restauro de azulejos. Formei-me e trabalhei durante varios anos no museu escola de artes decorativas – Fundação Ricardo Espirito Santo silva, Na area da conservação e restauro de azulejos. Foi o constante convivio com a arte e a preservação dela que me inspirou a criar as minhas próprias peças. Nos ultimos anos juntei na gaveta varios projectos de peças que pretendia realizar e foi neste ultimo ano que investi e iniciei este tão esperado projecto. A conservação e restauro continuam a fazer parte do meu trabalho e paralelamente aplico todo o conhecimento que desenvolvi estes ultimos anos, aplicados na ceramica dos dias de hoje, tanto na joalharia como nos utilitarios do dia a dia. Este é o meu espaço de trabalho, é aqui que tudo acontece, neste fantástico equilíbrio que a natureza proporciona mesmo na mesa de trabalho mais confusa.

The pottery came into my life throughout the conservation and restoration of tiles. I graduated and worked for several years in a museum called the Museum School of Decorative Arts - Fundação Ricardo Espirito Santo Silva, in the area of conservation and restoration of tiles. It was the constant Living with art and the preservation of it that inspired me to create my own pieces.

In the recent years I joined in the drawer parts of various projects and was in this past year that I started this research and long-awaited project.

The conservation and restoration continue to be part of my job and at the same time I apply all the knowledge I have developed these last years, applied to ceramics of today, both in jewelry and utilities in the day to day.

This is my workspace, this is where it all happens in this amazing balance that nature provides even on the desktop more confusing.
