Drapée Garnet


Deep, glossy and intensely sculptural, Garnet is a ceramic wall piece shaped like a fragment of fabric whose movement has been frozen in clay.


Its draping is particularly pronounced.

The folds deepen, rise and flow across the piece, creating a true three-dimensional relief reaching up to 4.5 cm / 1.8 in in depth.


Light moves across these volumes, continuously transforming the surface.

Its glaze is equally changeable.


Depending on the light and the angle from which it is viewed, Garnet shifts between oxblood brown, burgundy, deep wine, chocolate and smoky mauve tones.


Some areas become deep and almost opaque, while others reveal transparency, layered nuances and warmer reflections.

It is a colour that is difficult to define in a single word and that is precisely what gives Garnet its character.


Displayed on a light wall, surrounded by wood, stone, linen or other natural materials, Garnet immediately brings depth to the space and becomes a striking visual anchor.


A ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE

Garnet is a one-of-a-kind piece, entirely shaped by hand in my studio in Portugal.

The sculpture shown in the photographs is the exact piece currently available.


THE DRAPING

The Drapée collection explores a contradiction that is particularly dear to me: giving ceramic — a solid and enduring material — the appearance of something soft, fluid and in motion.

Each sculpture is shaped by hand while the clay is still malleable. The folds, tensions, hollows and movement emerge directly from this process, without any mechanical reproduction.

In Garnet, this work is deliberately deeper and more expressive: the draping becomes almost a landscape of material.

COLOUR & LIGHT

Garnet can change noticeably in appearance throughout the day.

Warm lighting will enhance its chocolate, reddish-brown and oxblood tones, while brighter natural light will reveal more of its burgundy, deep wine and mauve nuances, along with the glossy depth of the glaze.

The photographs have been selected to show these different facets as faithfully as possible.


INSTALLATION

The sculpture is installed using a single fixing point located at the top of the piece.

A screw with a matching brown decorative cap is included, allowing the fixing to blend discreetly into the tones of the sculpture.

Simply choose a wall anchor suitable for the type of wall on which it will be installed.


CARE

Garnet is intended for decorative wall use only.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Handle with care during installation.

    The glaze decides. I never do it the same way again.

    HANDMADE DRAPED CERAMICS: THE VARIATIONS THAT MAKE EACH PIECE IRREPLACEABLE

    I shape each piece by hand in my studio in Portugal. The draping, stroke by stroke, captures a movement in the clay. The glaze, meanwhile, reacts to the firing in a way that even I cannot fully control.

    ​

     

    It is precisely this that guarantees that no one, anywhere, will have exactly the same piece.

    The sculptural draping is Clay'Milie's recognizable visual signature.

    Each fold, each relief is the result of a unique and unrepeatable gesture.

    The variations in glaze, color, gloss, and gradation are unique to this firing process.

    This piece is part of a very small series or is a unique example.
