Student Break | Orly Montag | Made Of China

Orly is a 2010 Graduate of the Ceramics and Glass Department of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
Orly’s 105 creatures are all about industrial duplication and the world of singular art. “Consumerism that includes mass production, led me to explore the possibilities that come from combining a mass produced product and a singular work of art. The process tries to define an infinite circle, that begins with the artist and his momentary creation steps to the industrial world and back to the artist whilst testing my identity as an artist and designer in the ceramics field”.

Marcelle Klein | Sensual Shapes

I can say with out a doubt that Marcelle is my clay idol! It looks like she dances with the material.
Her work intrigues me and makes me want to start experience with clay.
She makes it look so much fun!

Vons | Yael Yarzin | Royalty World

  • The Katerina Family
  • Katerina Collection | Sabrina Box
  • Katerina Collection | Sugar Bowl
  • Katerina Collection | The Dresser Box
If Alice in wonderland is your cup of tea, you have to visit Yael’s world of royalty. The colors, the textures, the shapes, they all put smile on my face and help me pretend for a little while that I’m part of Alice’s magical world.

Orly Edlavitch | Creatures

One of Orly’s sources of inspiration are Vinyl toys or “new figurines” as she calls them. As I have an obsession for Kidrobot’s Dunny’s figure and I have lots of them I was drawn to Orly’s ceramic world. “My work consist of figures that were re-assembled in a traditional way. In my work I have tried to compare the ceramic industry of today with that of three centuries ago, and to subvert the existing order by using humor and changing small details. At the beginning of my work process, I collected different objects that served as my vocabulary; these included miniature toys, tableware and industrial figures…”

Michal Koren | White Noise

This is a first for me. I discovered Michal’s work after visiting Sigal Ben-David’s Behance page. To tell you the truth, I don’t know which one I like best. I can’t chose! The photographs are a-m-a-z-i-n-g and do justice with Michal’s ceramic creations. I guess this time I’ll let you decide.
On a side note, I’m really curious about Michal’s web-site. It looks promising…
I hope it will be up soon enough…

Simone Solomon | Shadows

  • Vessel
  • Eye of the storm
  • Sea foam
  • Circle
  • One step forward two steps backwards
I feel it’s time for some art, here at DesignBreak.
Simone’s mysterious art work in clay captivated my mind for quite some time… I’m still looking for the reason.
It might be the non perfect forms, the broken lines or the shadows that kept hunting me… I have to keep thinking about this one.
Simone, thank you for touching my soul!

Vered Tandler Dayan | Inspired By Movement

  • Black & White Collection
  • Black & White Collection
  • Red Plates Collection
  • Black & White Collection
  • A Rose is A Rose is A Rose
“Inspired by movement throughout my career as a dancer and a video editor, I have found personal expression with clay and through the wheel.
I came across ceramics by chance and quickly was absorbed by the activity that actually fuses all the fields I was previously engaged in. Movement, breathing, rhythm and intuition are my tools, along with technique.”
What can I say, I’m moved by Vered’s way of choosing to follow her heart with movement and simplicity in mind.

Liora bess Rosin | All Things Fall By Their Own Weight | Variations On Salt

Never before, have I seen such an elegant and beautiful way dealing with clay.
“Searching for a moment around the table when an element would move by its own natural behavior and force, I observed the properties of a salt shaker such as receiving, holding and giving, and the salt own reaction to these aspects. While creating an object that will enhance the experience of weight and movement, the form had to be able to receive, hold, protect and give.”
In the up coming weeks, you’ll see some more treasures by the very much talented Liora.

Sahar Batsry and Maya Shapira | Short Cuts

I know it’s been only a week since I wrote about Sahar’s work but… I can’t help it.
This set of ceramic tableware was fabricated out of pieces cut from existing mass-produced tableware.
I love the fact that for the first time I can show you pictures that document the process. Thank you Sahar!
At Sahar’s blog you’ll find other exiting objects.
