The main focus of my BA thesis is designing porcelain lamp. In the beginning I describe the history of porcelain, how it all began in the Far East and continued to Europe. I write about how the design and decorations have changed and shaped over the centuries.
I continue with technical data of the material. I describe the key components of porcelain, how it is made and how to work with it.
I am researching the theory of light, ambient light and how it affects us. A brief history of light is also described.
In the practical part I design a tealight holder with plants and animal motifs of Lake Cerknica. I describe the process, from idea to the final product, using my own paper clay porcelain.
