Designer Virginia Sin creates plates from porcelain and
recycled paper from her Brooklyn, NY studio.
To create this series, Virginia Sin shredded actual paper plates, (which were also previously used to mold the plates) and then combined the paper pulp with porcelain slip to create her own unique batch of environmentally sound "paperclay", which requires only one firing, as opposed to several with traditional clay. The porcelain paper plates have a wonderful delicate feel to them and, according to Virginia, are actually as light and thin as actual paper plates.
Each plate is one-of-a-kind, individually slab-rolled & handmade. Miicro-wave and dishwasher safe. Available in matte white & glossy white. three sizes 5.5", 8" and 12" dia. starting at $39, and available in matte or glossy.
