Milja’s work is centered on slip casting, a ceramics technique that involves pouring liquid clay into a prepared plaster mold to produce a casting, typically a hollow form. She views this technique not merely as a method for creating multiples but as an art form in its own right. She is inspired by the unique creative possibilities it offers, from achieving silky-smooth surfaces to capturing intricate textures that would be difficult to replicate through other methods. By exploring the interplay between prototype, mold and porcelain, Milja embraces experimentation, manipulating mold forms, introducing new elements, and varying clay and pouring techniques. Porcelain plays a key role in her process, beautifully reflecting the fine details of the pottery plaster used in prototypes and molds with almost photographic precision. This process highlights the dialogue between positive and negative space. While rooted in small scale serial production reminiscent of industrial design production methods, her handcrafted approach ensures a deeply personal, intimate quality in her work. For Milja, slip casting offers limitless creative potential, resulting in pieces that are both distinctive and specific to this process.
