{"id":90,"count":18,"description":"Caroline Wagenaar graduated from the Ecole Estienne in Paris with a M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art diploma in copper-plate engraving. She then pursued her studies in ceramic production within the Art Department of Rochampton College in London, before participating in an artist residency at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Japan.\r\n\r\nIn 2005, she won the Young Creator award of the Maison & Objet art fair in Paris, and her work has earned her several other honours and awards including from the Vexin prize for excellency in craft practice in 2008.\r\n\r\nBlack and white, stone ware and steel, Caroline Wagenaar\u2019s sculptures combine two very contrasting materials in surprising creations that strike a balance between the softness of ceramic and the harshness of metal.\r\n\r\nShe sculpts monumental and unfinished amphoras with rope, which she them spray-glazes with white stoneware. Limited by the size of the kiln, her ceramic pieces are enhanced by the addition of metal. She cold-hammers the steel before she welds it and applies a patina. Once done, the metal encircles the glazed ceramic \u2013 like the mounting of a jewel, or a protective armour.\r\n\r\nHer pots, smaller formats with a remarkable duality, are embellished with metal collars for a highly poetic finish.\r\n\r\nCaroline Wagenaar also creates utilitarian pieces with a variety of finishes, using a highly refined combination of metal and ceramics.","link":"https:\/\/maisonparisienne.fr\/en\/artiste\/caroline-wagenaar\/","name":"Caroline Wagenaar","slug":"caroline-wagenaar","taxonomy":"artiste","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maisonparisienne.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artiste\/90","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maisonparisienne.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artiste"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/maisonparisienne.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/artiste"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/maisonparisienne.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oeuvre?artiste=90"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
