The piece features a young woman with flowing hair and flowers crossing diagonally over her eyes, recreated in clay using the sgraffito technique.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a 26.5 cm diameter, the dish is finished with BOTZ Stoneware Engobe Yellow. I carved the design directly into the clay, creating flowing lines and patterns that follow the movement of the hair. As ceramic carving allows for less intricate detail than ink drawing, I adapted the original design to suit the material while preserving its distinctive character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hair combines two repeating patterns. One features stylised grapevine tendrils, one of my favourite decorative motifs, while the other consists of irregular circular drops and circles. The flowers are defined by simple, clean lines, creating a contrast with the patterned hair. The face, lips and neck remain free of decoration, allowing the portrait to stand out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Ceramic Piece Inspired by Art\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis dish is a special interpretation of an artwork that feels particularly close to my heart.
