About Track Mahi Matua: Huinga Taonga Tēpu

Kuputuhi Pukapuka: Ko Track he huinga taonga tēpu uku e whai ana i ngā pereti, kapu me ngā ipu putiputi. He ngāwari ngā āhua, he kanapa hoki ngā tae. Ka piko ngā mata mā puta noa i ia mea me te mea he hukapapa e rere ana, ā, mā te hanganga e piki ake ana, e heke iho ana ka mārama kē atu ngā whakahoahoa. Ka hangaia te huinga mā te whakaheke i roto i te matipia uku, ka tahuna ki te 1250 tohu Celsius. Ko ngā āhua e māmā ana ki te kotiti kē, ka tautokona ki te alumina i te wā e tahuna ana i te wera nui, kātahi ka kāreko, ka tahuna anō. E noho pū tonu ana te hoahoa ki te noho ngāwari, kia mau tonu ai te kai hei aronga matua mō te kai.

Production Technology: The work is made of ceramic mould casting technique. Fired to 1250℃.
Design Challenge: The main difficulty in the development of the project was the deformation of the ceramic material. In solving this, I used a high temperature firing and low temperature glaze firing method for extremely deformable forms. The pieces are brazed with alumina during the high temperature firing process and then glazed for a third firing after shaping.
Research: Type of research: applied research, Research Objectives: tableware, Methodology: computer-aided design, Data collection: market research and questionnaires, Experiment: perception of the use of the piece, Results: the design in its shape makes the consumer more eager to buy and the meal experience becomes relaxed and enjoyable.
Inspiration: Dining times are often warm and beautiful, and a pleasant set of tableware can make the real thing more delicious. Tableware is the coat of food, so tableware design should not be noisy, but should be quiet and modest.
Project Duration: Started in June 2022 and finished in August.
Operation Flow: The work serves everyday life and is an expression of refined living and joie de vivre.
