Archive: Glaze and ceramics studies.Experiments in surface, material, firing and form.



An ongoing collection of ceramic objects, glaze tests and material experiments.These studies explore form, surface, colour and material transformation through hand-building, wheel throwing, 3D printing, glazing and firing.


2025/ Galaxy: Recreating outer space through glazes

Layered glazes experiment with colour, depth and texture, producing unpredictable surfaces reminiscent of planets and distant landscapes.

Type: Ceramic / glaze study
Context: Material experimentation
Design: Marcelo Guajardo Dávila

Materials: Stoneware, white porcelain
Methods: Wheel throwing / hand-building / glazing / bisque-high firing
Year: 2025, Espoo, Finland


2026/ Feet on the ground: An exploration of tradition, humor, and bodily absurdity through clay.

Traditional ceramic forms meet humanoid feet, using humor and bodily absurdity to explore our connection to craft, heritage and material culture.

Type: Ceramic / glaze study
Context: Material experimentation
Design: Marcelo Guajardo Dávila

Materials: Red stoneware,
Methods: Wheel throwing / hand-building / bisque firing
Year: 2025, Espoo, Finland
Status: Ongoing exploration


2025/ Ceramic acoustic and sound explorations


An exploration of sound through ceramic form, experimenting with how shape, material and interaction can produce different acoustic qualities.

Type: Ceramic / glaze study / acoustics
Context: Material experimentation
Design: Marcelo Guajardo Dávila
