Studio Ayra

The technique used is known as slab building where a sheet of clay is formed into a desired form

This collection explores what remains after movement, forms shaped by flow that’s felt in my body and translated through the hands into clay

The ‘In Motion’ Collection draws from nerikomi, a Japanese technique where layers of coloured clay are stacked and shaped into intricate patterns

As the form evolved it began to reveal the quiet elegance of a feminine silhouette

This functional sculptural piece was made as a collaboration between Studio Ayra and Nitya A Aggarwal
