Explorasi Limbah Kaca pada Badan Keramik Stoneware

Abstract

The objective of glass waste exploration in clay for ceramic products has a mean to look for novelties and innovations for ceramic products which are now under threat due to mass production ceramics with “handmade” characteristics. The existence of “handmade” mass-produced ceramic products will have an impact on the value and price of ceramic products that are actually crafted by hand with more complex techniques, and high craftsmanship. From Kyomi Ceramic Studio's case studies, the author uses design-by-doing methods and experimental research to develop ceramic products from available and affordable raw materials for the industry. By looking for the possibility of a new identity through the exploration of mixing stoneware clay with glass waste, it is hoped that it will generate new aesthetic potential and can raise the integrity and value of handmade ceramic products that are not easily imitated or mass-produced.
