WORDS Lindi Brownell Meiring
South African ceramicist and stylist Alexia Klompje of Klomp Ceramics has released a new series of one-of-a-kind bowls made from clay leftovers.
The Play Bowls collection is made up of 10 hand-crafted bowls glazed in subtle shades of blue with accents of gold and raw textural elements.
The bowls are inspired by the idea of playfulness.
“Even though I do what I love each day (and it’s creative), I still get caught up in the practicalities of it all, the realities of running a business and just getting things done,” says Alexia. “Most often I feel like I’m just rushing from one task to another, without taking a moment to just be and create in a calm and playful manner. The Play Bowls are part of a project I’m working on. A conscious slowing down, taking the time for myself, to play.”
