Keramiikaksi

Keramiikaksi is a traditional Finnish pottery technique that involves creating objects by hand using a mold and a wooden stick. The process begins with a mold, typically made from clay or plaster, which is filled with a mixture of clay and water. A wooden stick is then used to shape the clay into the desired form, with the stick serving as a guide for the shape and texture. Once the object is shaped, it is left to dry and then fired in a kiln to harden and give it its final color and texture. Keramiikaksi is often used to create functional objects such as bowls, plates, and mugs, as well as decorative items like vases and figurines. The technique is known for its simplicity and the unique, handcrafted quality of the resulting objects. Keramiikaksi is a popular art form in Finland, with many artisans specializing in this traditional craft.
