Porcelain foam

Date: 2008
A porcelain foam was developed during a residence period at the EKWC Den Bosch. Before firing the foam is very fragile. Therefore it was necessary to develop a lot of new techniques. Making foam (from mixed eggwhite to washing powder), drying the foam, enhancing the stability of the foam, unmolding are some of the difficulties to overcome.
