Chari'tea

My 100 batch product called Chari'tea.

A cake stand produced from 'saved'

ceramic-ware and transformed into kitsch and

colourful tea stands.

No two stands are the same as the plates were

donated and are then purchased

from the charity shop.

When pewter met ceramics...

My entry for the national pewterers guild anual competition.

A project devoted to using pewter plus the option of using other materials.



Combining the two materials, ceramics and pewter, I am designing a

jewelery range of brooches and pendants.

My final designs are currently still ongoing but the marrying of the

two materials make quite beautiful objects.

I have been using old, broken and lost fragments from my last

project but of the pieces are colourful and pretty and suit well

with the attractiveness of the shiny metal.

Below are my current prototypes and also the making process.

Sandcasting an abstract shape into the sand and

channeling the molten pewter through and around the ceramic.
