Description

ABOUT THE WORK

The family hearth "STRANDS" is a handmade ceramic object designed for the wedding fire-passing ritual. Its name and form speak of connection, continuity, and what is created not immediately, but gradually, from many interconnected strands. It is a work in which the ceremonial purpose is combined with the idea of a home symbol.

History

The family hearth "STRANDS" is created as a symbolic object of the wedding ritual, but its meaning does not end with the moment of the ceremony. After the celebration, it remains in the home as a sign of memory, connecting an important life transformation with what is created further in everyday life.

The name "STRANDS" is important here not as a decorative detail, but as the main idea of the work. A strand means connection, continuity, a connection between people, generations and experiences. A family is also made up of many invisible strands: closeness, care, responsibility, patience and being there. It is they who support the common fabric of life.

The symbol of the family hearth is associated with the warmth, security and togetherness of home in many cultures. In the Lithuanian tradition, the passing of fire to newlyweds means not only a wish to create their own home, but also a silent reminder to protect what is fragile and alive. Therefore, this work speaks not only of the beginning, but also of continuity.

The handmade hearth "STRANDS" can be perceived as a meaningful gift for newlyweds - not only for the wedding day, but also for a longer story of their life together. It is an object that reminds us that closeness is built from small but strong strands of mutual support.

Combination ideas

The work can be displayed on a console, shelf, chest of drawers or festive table in a space where not only decoration is important, but also the symbolic value of the object. It is a work that does not need additional props nearby, because its strength lies in the restraint of form and idea.

Ceramic care

CARE OF CHAMOTTE SCULPTURES AND INTERIOR DECOR PIECES

The surface of fine-grain chamotte sculptures can be porous. Especially when unglazed, it may be more sensitive to friction, absorbing dirt and improper wet cleaning. The main recommended method of care is dry cleaning.

Precious metal lustres (gold, platinum, palladium, etc.) form a thin decorative layer applied in a lower-temperature firing. This layer is sensitive to abrasives and friction, so surfaces with such decoration should be cleaned with great care, avoiding scrubbing.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Chamotte is clay that has been fired at a high temperature and ground, then mixed into the ceramic body. It reduces shrinkage during drying and firing, helps the piece dry more evenly and can increase resistance to thermal stress, especially in larger forms. Depending on the composition of the ceramic body, the firing temperature and the surface finish, an unglazed surface may be porous and absorb dirt more easily.

These care recommendations apply to fine-grain chamotte sculptures and interior decor pieces, which may be unglazed, partly glazed or fully glazed.

CLEANING

Dry cleaning (the main method). Gently remove dust with a soft brush, guiding it towards the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner set to minimum suction. Avoid rough cloths, as they can scratch the surface or dull the shine of the decorative layer.

Wet cleaning only in exceptional cases. Washing or soaking is not recommended, especially if the surface is porous, has been repaired before or the condition of the piece is unknown. If sticky or other stubborn dirt must be removed, it is best to consult a specialist first.

DISPLAY AND STORAGE

Chamotte sculptures and interior decor pieces should be displayed on stable surfaces that can bear their weight, in places where they cannot be accidentally knocked or tipped over.

When moving a sculpture, always support it by the main body or the base. Never lift it by protruding, narrow or decorative elements.
