Wheel thrown raku whispering globe

One of Hungarian ceramist Ildiko Karolyi’s unique creations. Each Whispering Globe is a special gift wrap for delivering wishes. They preserve all the whispered wishes and release them to the loved ones. Every piece is a distinct universe, a unique gift.

“The contrast between the irregularity of the raw, natural surfaces – wabi – and the geometric ornamentation or the timeless proportions of the pure spherical form – sabi – creates the powerful, unrepeatable, sometimes perplexing beauty of my pieces.

My works have been exhibited in Hungary, Spain, Italy and Croatia, and decorate homes from Canada to Taiwan, from Norway to Monaco.”

“My aim is to create lovable, usable, high-quality ceramic objects that provide a wide range of visual and tactile experiences. My creative process consists of constant, focused, yet in some aspects instinctive experimentation with materials, shapes and surfaces. My goal is to capture beauty. This process is an intuitive search for harmony, a quest for delight. Objects born in my hands are imprints of the inner paths of this explorer-researcher-observer mind.”

MEET THE MAKER

KeramiArt

KeramiArt is the name under which Hungarian potter, Ildikó Károlyi, presents her work. Based in Budapest, Ildikó crafts hand-thrown functional objects as well as decorative items. She uses Raku firing, which is an ancient Japanese technique to create a very unique finish.

Glazed ceramics are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot and are then placed in a material that would be able to catch fire, for example sawdust. The piece is starved of oxygen, and a myriad of colours begin to develop within the glaze. Raku firing can also be done without glaze, which leaves a matte black appearance. Raku firing creates completely unique pieces as there is never a certainty as to how the final piece will turn out. Raku essentially creates a unique design every time, so there is less control on the outcome.

My creative process consists of constant, focused, yet in some aspects instinctive experimentation with materials, shapes and surfaces. As a ceramist my goal is to capture beauty. This process is an intuitive search for harmony, a quest for delight. Objects born in my hands are imprints of the inner paths of this explorer-researcher-observer mind.
— Ildikó Károlyi
