About Yves Clara Omer
I have been developing my style and interests while exploring ceramics and glass at the Art Academy of Mechelen. Through various techniques—glass in lead, slumping, pinching, coil, slab, slip casting, and sculpting—I’ve discovered that slab building, slip casting, and sculpting resonate with me the most, allowing me to express a range of styles.
Using slab building and slip casting, I create geometric shapes with deliberate precision. These techniques let me push and pull the clay to achieve harmonious results, requiring careful planning and focus. In contrast, my sculpting work embraces a freeform approach, where the clay guides me organically. This spontaneity allows for delightful surprises and a more relaxed creative process.
Glass, too, plays a vital role in my work, adding an ethereal quality that captures and refracts light, enhancing the overall experience of my pieces. Together, these mediums invite a playful exploration of form and texture in every creation.
