"Alice" is a ceramic tea set by Rachel Boxnboim that was created using a stitched fabric mold made by the designer. Boxnboim fills the completed molds with liquid clay, syringes out the excess and fires the cloth-and-clay molds in a kiln. After the firing process, the cloth has been burned away, but its texture, homespun qualities and one-of-a-kind charm are preserved.
Check out Rachel Boxnboim's creative process for the "Alice" ceramic tea set at Dezeen. Would you ever use one of these unusual ceramic teapots?
