Smock Vase

£230.00

Made from hand-pleated layers of fabric, each vase contains approximately 200 stitches. The sewn vase moulds are inflated with a natural composite of sand and a sugar-derived hardening agent, which cures into a solid, weighty form.

Each vase includes a removable glass insert for holding water, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Stitching has long been a quiet act of resilience, used as a tool for survival, repair, protest, and preservation. Through the stitch, generations have recorded memories and passed down knowledge. Amidst rampant mass production, these works are a deliberate return to slowness. They ask us to consider the stories held in thread and intergenerational making traditions.

H20 x W15 x D15 cm

Textile: Dead stock crepe

Colour: Brown
