Wooden-print candle pad - Black ceramics

The works of black or holy ceramics have been made in Apshuciema of the municipality of Engures, in the ceramics master workshop the Creative room a gravel house, handcrafted from Latvian clay by Master Ivar Grasch and burnt in the open firewood bake. The dishes acquire their unique hue, which varies in black, gray and greenish tones, due to smoke from the blessing process. Unleaded coatings of different colours are used to glaze the interior of the containers (thin glass coating). After burning, the dishes are hot-treated with beeswax. All the work done is for everyday use and at the same time complements the living space as design elements. Every creature includes and stores information not only about its creation, but also about a much older experience, reflecting both antiquity and today's breath. The proximity of nature, with its rhythms and prevailing peace, inspires, allows you to hear yourself and create living works.
