The "Stitch & Sip" project is a porcelain sake set crafted using the slip-casting technique, showcasing a blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and contemporary design. The set consists of a sake bottle and three matching cups, thoughtfully designed to reflect the symbolic importance of sake in Japanese culture, particularly its role in social rituals and expressions of hospitality. The design emphasizes core principles of harmony, simplicity, and balance, while incorporating tactile textures inspired by Sashiko and Boro stitching, evoking a deep connection to traditional textile techniques.
By uniting the functional qualities and aesthetic elegance of porcelain with rich cultural narratives, "Stitch & Sip" reimagines a timeless practice, offering a modern perspective on a cherished tradition.
