Digital Archive
A systematic catalog of ceramic specimens, documenting forms, finishes, and technical specifications.
Specimen Documentation
Systematic Cataloging
Each piece in our collection receives detailed documentation, including dimensional measurements, material specifications, firing data, and creation timeline. This systematic approach serves both archival and reference purposes.
The archive functions as a comprehensive record of our work, allowing for analysis of technique development, material exploration, and form evolution over time. Each entry provides insight into the technical aspects of ceramic creation.
Beyond practical documentation, the archive reflects the ongoing dialogue between intention and outcome that characterizes the ceramic process.
Collection Categories
Functional Forms
Documentation of tableware and serving pieces designed for daily use. Entries include capacity measurements, weight specifications, and durability ratings based on material composition and firing conditions.
Decorative Objects
Records of sculptural and non-functional pieces. Documentation focuses on form, proportion, surface treatment, and visual impact. These entries explore the expressive potential of ceramic materials.
Experimental Series
Documentation of exploratory works that test material limits, form possibilities, and surface treatments. These entries record both successful outcomes and informative failures.
Technical Documentation
Measurement Standards
All archived pieces include dimensional data using standardized measurement protocols. Height, width, depth, and internal capacities are recorded using precision instruments.
Material documentation includes clay body type, firing temperature, glaze composition when applicable, and any surface treatment techniques. This information provides complete technical context for each piece.
Firing records document temperature curves, kiln conditions, and timing. These details help explain surface characteristics and material properties observed in the finished work.
Visual Records
Photographic Documentation
Each archived piece is photographed from multiple angles under consistent lighting conditions. These visual records complement written specifications and provide reference for form and surface details.
Detail Documentation
Close-up photography captures surface textures, glaze variations, and subtle form details that might not be apparent in standard documentation. These images reveal the material's character at various scales.
