Pottery 01 is the inaugural publication of the Applied Pottery Workshop, released in 2015. It serves as a curated documentation of contemporary ceramic art, focusing on the intersection of function, aesthetics, and narrative. A primary highlight of this volume is the work of Warja L (Warja Levä), a Finnish ceramic artist known for her distinctive narrative tableware. Her work in this issue explores the relationship between objects and storytelling, specifically through her "Royal" series and character-driven pieces.
The works were not literal battle scenes. They traced instead the battles lived quietly: domestic labor versus creative life, the pull of tradition against reinvention, the private reckonings of body and history. A shallow bowl might hold the impression of a clenched fist; a thrown vase could be laced with thin, deliberate cracks like the map of an old wound. Glazes—matte blacks, oxblood reds, and pale bone whites—were applied with gestures that read like punctuation: sudden daubs, long anxious drips, the careful sanding of an edge until it shivers.
