Kecskemét Residency, 2026
In 2026 I returned to Kecskemét for a one-month residency at the International Ceramics Studio, continuing my work with porcelain and mold-based processes. The idea to come back started during an earlier workshop, when I realized I wanted more time to explore these methods on my own terms.
I worked with plaster molds I had developed before, combining slip-cast and press-molded elements into new configurations. The process moved between repetition and variation — assembling, shifting, and testing how familiar forms could change.
Gas firing and celadon glazes became an important part of this work, giving the surfaces depth and a quiet, restrained quality, sometimes interrupted by small accents.
At some point, working with molds, casting, and assembling, I couldn’t resist stepping aside and making two fully hand-built pieces — Sphinx and Sirin. They are also porcelain and celadon, but belong to a different line of thinking.
This residency felt like a continuation — returning to a process already known, but working through it more slowly and deliberately.
