PORCELAIN WITH A SPECIAL TOUCH
The Dutch artist and ceramicist Jacqueline Harberink is known for her minimalist, handmade porcelain designs where simplicity, purity and down-to-earth style combine to create an elegant result. She investigates complex, labour-intensive techniques that have fallen into disuse over the years, gives them a modern look, and then applies this to her porcelain. Through the use of the shellac and rice grain techniques, among others, and various glazes that she prepares herself, the strength and versatility of porcelain becomes tangible in a striking way.

The [NON-] TRANSPARENCY collection has been inspired by our vulnerable yet very valuable right to privacy. Harberink opens up her designs by making holes in them. The artist later invisibly closes them again using a transparent glaze. Closing these holes represents a way to retain our personal little secrets. The technique is based on the 14th century Chinese “rice-grain”. Standard available in white.
