Introducing Liyang Zhang
We are excited to share a collection of new works by Toronto and Brooklyn based architect and ceramic artist Liyang Zhang. We continue to expand works from the extremely talented artisan and design community right here in Canada. We were mesmerized by these beautiful quarry cups with their delicate glazing and refined thrown bowl shapes on carved bases that remind me of the limestone Canadian shield.
Thrown on the wheel from a single mass of porcelain, the upper form emerges with precision. Over 72 hours to a week, depending on humidity, the clay slowly transitions from wet to leather-hard. During this interval, the bottom half is torn and chiseled, revealing the grain of the porcelain.
We have a collection of six unique bowls currently on display and for sale on our website.
