A simple cylinder was easier for her to grasp, but a normal glass provides no protection from the hot liquid inside. My solution was to create a tumbler out of porcelain, formed of two slipcast walls attached at the cup lip. Air space between the walls insulates the liquid, keeping heat generated by hot liquids from penetrating the outer wall. In later versions I added holes to improve the grip and allow water to drain when the cup is inverted during drying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1457247183659-JPEONUQ8VSMOHD8P33FA/cups.jpg Ceramic - Double Wall Porcelain Tumblers This project was inspired by my arthritic grandmother, who had a difficult time grasping mug handles.

With this in mind I designed and created an experimental dinner set to serve solely the needs of an individual diner. By creating an interlocking design that is visually incomplete without all items present. I chose to prototype my design in stoneware and porcelain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1457246838593-QBXGPN1I7Z3I6GU4TCD9/victorwilkens_9.jpg Ceramic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1457247183967-LILU9ZJ7SCMSAZQZG3AS/casarole.jpg Ceramic - Compact Casserole I after shipping some casseroles only to have their handles be broken in transit i became interested in designing a production-type casserole, that would be resilient to shipping. My goal was to create a compact size and shape that would minimize damage to the side handles, which are commonly subject to breakage. I created this design in porcelain and a heavy duty stoneware that would survive the sometimes rough handling of shipping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1457247458380-6J2K6DZ96IC73432ZYN9/pitcher.jpg Ceramic - Chin Up Pitcher Continuing in the vein of compact sturdy production-ware, I developed and created this pitcher concept. Similar to the casserole, the goals were to create a sturdy design that can withstand shipping and still be pleasing, lightweight, and functional.   http://victorwilkens.com/casestudies daily 0.75 2023-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1531954685434-U0WSLJ7XNYMM3O8OBB37/novo+thumb.jpg Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1532037886093-VSYQRY8XJ83J7LONU9T2/furniture+thumbnail.jpg Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1532038087506-RJKV9P1LA9NVZL6UE6AT/distruptor+thumb.jpg Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1532038236550-PRNP1KOKZMLPP437YLF5/easpeak+thumb.jpg Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1532038583253-CF9GNRS4OYYDKJNNXTEM/kzthumb.jpg Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1532038700031-W0IVJGM1Z5PCK4F6ZOJJ/ashurnthumb.jpg Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52c72413e4b0035c2ca817ef/1543873712978-FL9QHCCQK6TMT4T3SQDX/n%26J_03+copy.jpg Case Studies - Artifacts of Technology After traveling to the Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia, I studied their use of classic wood joinery techniques in stone.
