The post Dottir Studio’s Cat Vases are as Purrfect as it Gets appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Before starting her own studio, King studied illustration at the University of Brighton and spent years working on commercial surface pattern design. Shortly after giving birth, she decided to return to her independent ceramic work and started a studio fitting named “Dóttir”, which translates to daughter in Icelandic.
Nature and storytelling became her main source of inspiration, and she started creating whimsical, quirky work that transported her back to her childhood. Her clay vases are built entirely by hand, and she uses coils and slabs to build them, before painting over them. She wants her work to capture the beauty of nature, and the feline world is the theme she most frequently explores.
“I would say it’s illustrated, reminiscent of a children’s book or childhood memory. My pieces have a lot of personality too, even if I make five black cats, they’ll all be slightly different – just like real cats. Everything I make is hand-built, so it has a slightly wonky handmade feel to it,” King told 91 Magazine.
