Research of Translucent Porcelain and Its Use in Lighting Design
Özet
This thesis is about the porcelain-translucency relationship and the opportunities that metal salts can present in lighting design. The research exists of three chapters in which the history of porcelain, its connection to lighting design, and the possibilities of using metal salts are described, followed by the reasoning of the design and the documentation of the test firings, and the making of the final product. The goal is to examine a possible technique that could be involved in lighting design in relation to translucent porcelain, by following previous researches about water-soluble metal salts. This art research has the possibility to find a new usage of an already existing material.
