A ceramic artist who shapes clay as if it were fabric — a unique sculptural language forged through seven years of experimentation
Fabramics is a ceramic artist who has developed an entirely original technique that treats clay with the softness and fluidity of fabric.
Having studied ceramics, the artist found wheel-throwing physically demanding, a process that required strength the artist did not possess. Yet this limitation became the catalyst for innovation. Determined to find a method that aligned with their own body and sensibilities, Fabramics spent more than seven years experimenting with ways to work without the wheel, ultimately establishing a distinctive language of form.
In Fabramics’ work, clay folds, bends, and gathers like cloth. The wrinkles, seams, and softly wavering lines on the surface resemble the traces left after a piece of fabric has been pressed, held, or released. These organic forms arise from a delicate balance between intention and chance, allowing the material to reveal its own rhythm and breath.
Rather than forcing clay into predetermined shapes, Fabramics allows forms to emerge naturally, honoring the inherent movement and weight of the material. The resulting pieces blur the boundary between two seemingly opposite worlds—the solidity of clay and the fluidity of textiles—proposing a new aesthetic grounded in softness, tactility, and memory.
What began as a question—Can clay behave like fabric?—has evolved into a fully realized artistic identity.
Through Fabramics’ work, we witness how clay can be transformed into a medium of subtle motion and poetic restraint, expanding our understanding of what ceramics can be.

ARTWORKS
These pieces, made entirely by hand, are created by joining carefully selected fabrics to the original form, then meticulously stitching and filling them with cotton to achieve a unique volume. In this process, the once-flat fabric transforms into a three-dimensional form, offering the aesthetics of chance through unexpected wrinkles and curves.
The pottery is then produced using the plaster slip casting technique. The continuous needle stitches engraved on the surface of the work are elevated beyond mere decoration to become functional elements that complete the form, while simultaneously acting as unique patterns that further enhance the artistic value of the piece.
