Spotted is our weekly roundup of ephemera from the world of contemporary ceramics and contemporary ceramic art. We don’t often stick to a theme for Spotted, preferring instead to be quick on our feet. This week, however, we’ve assembled a collection of ceramics that have met paper (or linen) in some way. That can be either ceramics that are on paper, or paper that is masquerading as clay. Journey with us for a moment! Please follow the links to learn more about the artists featured in this piece.

I enjoyed reading/viewing this particular article. The study and extension of the ceramic form and ceramic history/culture in materials other than ceramics deserves attention. I am glad that your article focused on a lot of contemporary work (not counting the Hartley’s). I hope that a larger article or book would be written about the occurrence of ceramic images, culture and forms in media other than clay.
Your article was encouraging to me, a ceramist who makes prints inspired by ceramic forms. My prints began when I started to draw “Imaginary Vases”, ceramic pieces that could not be made, because of technical restraints, in clay. My exploration of the ceramic form continues and has expanded to making large pieces that reference the large scale decorative arts – tapestries, tile installations etc. in which the ceramic vessel in incorporated. It was heartening to see other artists pursue similar goals in their work.
I have paintings with images of ceramic jugs and vessels
