Pieza 12

White porcelain and black earthenware are combined and fired at 1,150°C. The two clays react differently to heat – earthenware expands, while porcelain is contracts – resulting in the black earthenware breaking through the porcelain. Rafael tries to apply his “way of seeing” and “first impression” approach. The idea is that he only considers his pieces good when he opens the kiln and does not recognise them as his work.
