Michelle Kosoy is a ceramic artist runs a studio kosoy bouchard in Toronto with her glass artist husband Pierre Bouchard . She uses wooden blocks ( as used in India for mostly printing fabrics, papers etc) to give her creations (earthenware and porcelains) a highly unique style.
Her work is beautiful, charming and classy. I am in love with her color pallets of white and neutral pale shades. Well, it is not only beautiful; it is functional too. The shapes may look simple but patterns are intricate. the finished product is so elegant . Her fine lines and detail require a keen eye, a very steady hand and a good deal of patience . She has participated in various exhibitions Her work has now been picked up on by Art Gallery of Ontario, Hollace Cluny, and Good Egg in Toronto.
What a unique use of wooden blocks ? never ever could even think of ..
Do not believe me? see it for yourself :
