Porcelain and Stone
About The Artist
Kimberly Huestis • Boston, MA
Jewelry • WHOLESALE AVAILABLE • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
My background in architecture and 3D graphics and animation has led me to show what the human hands are capable of without high-tech assistance. I have been a rock carver/sculptor first, in my decades of training. With thousands of hours of practice and questioning standard process: creating my own "stones" in porcelain has been a journey in chemistry, and understanding of geology in working with other stones. Craft centers me as a small human, to celebrate the possibilities and spur invention.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.Pieces are creating from my own porcelain recipe, mixed, kneaded, and then sculpted, carved, fired -- then re-carved if necessary, fired if melting 22 gold to them and then set in hardware based on the design of the porcelain piece. All of my pieces are fired and set in my studio space (I have two!) The other studio I keep is where I offer workshops and a glimpse into the exact chemistry going on to make each piece. |
