Alice Collection was Israeli designer Rachel Boxnboim‘s final project from the industrial design department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. Beginning with just a teapot, Rachel began creating fabric molds for her porcelain.

“In this project, I made a connection between a soft material (fabric) and a hard material (ceramic), perpetuating and preserving the properties of the fabric. The ceramic takes on the texture of the fabric and the appearance of the seams, and looks like a kind of hardened textile.
The utensils are useful and contain an element of surprise”.

“I took the measurements from my mothers old teapot and when i was finished - i had a mold!
I sewed utensils such as cups, plates, sugar container and a milk jug. Than I  casted porcelain into this fabric molds and after a while I've emptied it from the middle. In the process of burning in the kiln the fabric disappears and only the ceramic is left”.
