By a thin thread 

Once trained as a wheel potter, Maja Wlachopulos discovered her passion for filigree and playful jewellery creations: In numerous work processes, fine ear studs or pendants, rings, necklaces and colliers are formed from Limoges porcelain under her hands. On an initial crackle glaze, the ceramicist paints and prints basic patterns of floral and geomorphic elements and threads the fine elements onto wires or thin textile ribbons. Small but mighty!
