shrinking ceramic jugs by dave hakkens

 

 

 

eindhoven-based dave hakkens has developed as series of ceramic jugs that take influence from the characteristics of shrinking porcelain. by exploring the boundaries of the processes involved, hakkens conceived a master mold with a variety of textures and materials through slip-casting. due to a 14% incremental kiln shrinkage rate, each form is used as a template for further processing the jugs into smaller versions. from this, the original 5 liter mold is transformed into a collection of 10 objects with the smallest being 10 milliliters.
