ClientSelf initiated collaboration with Julia Saldana

Together with Julia Saldaña we brought back the ceramic collaboration named Serving Suggestion. Serving suggestion is a fun collection of stoneware hinting at the things that could be served. Julia designed and threw the items, and I painted on them. One of my favourite collaborations!




Our previous collaboration

PROJECT INSIGHTS
A few years ago we did the first iteration of this project. For me this was the first time painting on dinnerware, so that came with a few challenges. Painting with natural materials means you paint the designs with a brownish seethrough material, that only turns blue in the kiln. This year we added a few new types of tableware, my favourite being vases, pitchers and pastabowls.





SKETCHES & STYLE DEVELOPMENT
This project is inspired by hosting and sharing good food. 

Using natural materials I painted “serving suggestions” on tableware. Vegetables and fruits are often featured in my paintings, so it feels even more natural to apply them to their natural habitat, in an iconic blue shade. 

Most of the designs I come up with on the spot, inspired by the piece itself.
