This type of ceramic tile project belies it simplicity, to research the theme and fit it to the personalities took weeks of research, more to produce and reproduce, and even more to hand paint and repaint! Soon we will open certain web pages by invitation only, these pages will show the time line and all that goes right and wrong during the run up to the deadline. These pages will give the clients some insight into the complexities and curve ball thrown at us during the design and production of ceramic clayart like these.
The panel above showcase Christa’s beloved Hantam with the Calvinia mountains in the background. The images portray many of her nostalgic memories, her grandparents that were “karrietjies mense”, that is the sheep shearers that travel from farm to farm, the adults dancing, the clothing of a bygone year, the games the kids used to play, etc….
Blue Le Creuset pots were used to accentuate the blues in the panels, and the Le Creuset kettle invites friends to linger longer. The Smeg stoves and Braai’s stainless steel surfaces compliment the blues and adds just enough of a contemporary look. The bulky blue Smeg fridges adds drama with its larger surfaces of blue as well as something quirky. The blues mirror the large expances of sky outside and this all add to the positive mood around this environment!
