The young ceramicist Laurence Laurent is knitting the structure of her creations before painting them with several thin layers
of white porcelain. The knitting yarn burns away in the firing process leaving an interesting pattern in the fragile vases.
Last month Laurent exhibited her vases and objects in the well known ceramic centre Vallauris-Golfe-Juan in South of France. My local friends took me there on an exhibition tour that I will not forget. I love the way the light passes through the porcelain and the familiar knitted pattern.
"Today Laurence Laurent has found her way, her mode of expression and continues her journey", the exhibiton organizer says. Let's hope we'll see more knitting porcelain from Laurence Laurent.
