Cynthia Manietta
2020Cynthia Manietta is a ceramic artist based in Lismore, northern NSW, Australia. Cynthia works primarily in cone six stoneware using wheel throwing, hand-building and slip casting techniques.
With a background in design, Cynthia began studying ceramics in 2004 and is currently continuing her practice-led exploration into functional ceramic artworks. Cynthia hand-makes and fires each one of her pieces in her home studio.
Cynthia states: My interest as a ceramic artist is to incorporate design and imagery into my ceramic objects. To add elements of design, I use illustrator and Photoshop to create individual ceramic decals. I print and covercoat these decals, apply individually by hand and re-fire my work a third and final time. I like to combining raw, earthy clay with unique designs that create stunning and contrasting combinations.
After the decal firing my ceramic images are fade resistant and UV stable and dishwasher safe. Any Photographs, typography, logos, any digital content can be reproduced.
Each piece is individually made so slight variations in size and colour are normal and part of the handmade process.
