CERAMICS MADE BY ANNA FINLAYSON
MAKING
Through slow, handcrafted homewares, DECORATION SAVES embraces the frivolous, the adorned, and the 'materialistic'.
Drawing inspiration from craft traditions often overlooked due to their ties to domesticity and femininity, DECORATION SAVES reclaims the domestic decoration as meaningful.
Textural embellishments become a tactile reminder that ornamentation is essential.
MAKER
Anna Finlayson is an artist and designer based in Tamaki Makaurau. Graduating in 2024 with a Bachelor of Visual Arts, DECORATION SAVES became a continuation of her interest in ceramics and it's relation to craft history and the interior.
Lying in bed- where the best (and worst) late night inspiration strikes, she thought up a method to replicate tin punching techniques on clay. This technique became homage to craft history, whilst embracing the influx of daily visual inspiration.
