The special techniques we select for crafting each one are intentional\u2014whether it&#8217;s the clay, the materials, or even the glazes we choose. When people ask why we do this, it&#8217;s because we want to showcase our capabilities in ceramic creation. We&#8217;ve spent years experimenting and uncovering the possibilities of blending various materials, expressed through forms, colors, decorations, glazes, and even the minerals we incorporate into each cup. These works are grouped into series, like our white-blue collection, popular since LAMUNLAMAI.&#8217;s early days, others include gradient glazes, or found-object shapes we reinterpret with a touch of humor. For example, on those days when &#8216;life gives you a lemon,&#8217; you might as well pour some vodka into the martini-shaped cup we&#8217;ve designed.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-100976\" style=\"max-width: 1500px; margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-94-0 metaslider metaslider-nivo metaslider-100976 ml-slider ms-theme-default\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"Pots of Purpose03\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_100976\">\n        <div class='slider-wrapper theme-default'><div class='ribbon'><\/div><div id='metaslider_100976' class='nivoSlider'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/247_low-res.jpg\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"247_low res\" alt=\"Pots of Purpose\" class=\"slider-100976 slide-100992\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/259_low-res.jpg\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"259_low res\" alt=\"Pots of Purpose\" class=\"slider-100976 slide-100991\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/227_low-res.jpg\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"227_low res\" alt=\"Pots of Purpose\" class=\"slider-100976 slide-100994\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/1_low-res.jpg\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"1_low res\" alt=\"Pots of Purpose\" class=\"slider-100976 slide-100988\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/269_low-res.jpg\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"269_low res\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-100976 slide-100990\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/164_low-res.jpg\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"164_low res\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-100976 slide-101026\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/240_low-res-1.jpg\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"240_low res\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-100976 slide-101027\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/266_low-res.jpg\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"266_low res\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-100976 slide-101028\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/268_low-res.jpg\" height=\"1500\" width=\"1500\" title=\"268_low res\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-100976 slide-101029\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_101032\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101032\" class=\"wp-image-101032 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/APC_3540_low-res-draft.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/APC_3540_low-res-draft.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/APC_3540_low-res-draft-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/APC_3540_low-res-draft-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/APC_3540_low-res-draft-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/APC_3540_low-res-draft-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/APC_3540_low-res-draft-373x248.jpg 373w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/APC_3540_low-res-draft-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-101032\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Ketsiree Wongwan<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;\">At the exhibition, &#8216;Pots of Purpose: A 10-year Journey into Purposeful Design and Sustainable Craftsmanship,&#8217; curated by Nim Niyomsin at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, ceramic works owned by supporters are displayed alongside LAMUNLAMAI.&#8217;s cups\u2014all three hundred pieces arranged sequentially on the wall.
