The Quilt Project has been a year-long endeavor to perfect this unique technique, inspired by the intriguing relationship between femininity and power. By exploring women's work and the breaking of gender norms, I pay homage to the historical significance of quilting. Quilting, traditionally seen as women's work, has always been far from powerless. It served as a means for building communities, amplifying voices, and even aiding the underground railroad and suffragist movement.
Drawing inspiration from this rich tradition, I have meticulously recreated the essence of quilting on these ceramics, seamlessly blending the old and the new. The renowned Dresden quilt pattern, dating back to the early 1800s, adorns this ceramic line with its distinct periwinkle blue and pink arrangement.
This limited edition espresso cup is a true collector's item, available to only a select few. Each piece is meticulously hand-built and uniquely adorned, ensuring that no two pieces are alike.
