Both in our contemporary society and in the art world, cross-overs between different disciplines are indispensable. From a personal interest in the world of ceramics and the use of technology in the arts, the project Technology between ceramics and jewellery design arose.
The result is a technical/artistic investigation into the possibilities of engraving ceramics with the laser beam of a laser cutter in order to apply decorations by locally heating clay and glaze. The authentic way of making ceramics is compared to the new technology of the laser cutter.
As a result of the project, all tests are shown in an installation to give an overview of the complete research process. A number of tests were selected from this and converted into jewellery. These represent the research into what needs to be added or modified to make a ceramic item a wearable piece of jewellery.
