Margrieta Jeltema



Margrieta Jeltema, who grew up in the Netherlands, creates forms that flow,  are quite thin and appear to be translucent. It looks as though she uses slip to create these, maybe even a paperclay, or just super thin porcelain slabs. But I am not positive, and now I am quite curious! The photographs I have seen online of her work are just breathtaking - to see one of these in person would be magical. When lighted in a certain way, they glow. Most of her work has very little color and when it does, it is in harmony with the form. These works are incredibly elegant and feminine.
