After sharing the Calla Series, so many people asked what a bouquet version would look like. What started as a simple idea quickly became one of the most challenging, fine art pieces I’ve ever made.
This bouquet is made up of eight individual ceramic calla lilies, each one hand-sculpted slowly over the course of several weeks. I found myself really drawn to the natural movement of the flower. The bends in the stem, the soft ruffling along the edges, the way the form becomes more expressive with time.
Because the piece was so fragile, I dried it directly on the kiln shelf and loaded it into the kiln as one complete piece. Every flower balances delicately against the next, so the entire process required an incredible amount of patience and care from start to finish.
Inspired by the fleeting beauty of flowers and the idea that beauty deepens with time, this bouquet preserves that moment in ceramic form.
Hand-sculpted and entirely one of a kind. Made in Los Angeles by Karina Black.
Made-to-order: please allow approx. 8 weeks for creation.
