Story Behind the Art: My name is Duangkamol Srisukri, born in Bangkok in 1957. My parents were part of the first group of doctors who were assigned to work in Chiang Mai at Suan Dok Hospital, the biggest government hospital in Chiang Mai, and in Northern Thailand. When my father was working as Dean of the Pediatric Faculty at Chiang Mai University, he got together with his good friends, Mr. Gibson and Mr. Walker, and founded a ceramic workshop out of their shared passion for Celadon and stoneware. Most of my works are both Thai and Chinese reproductions like vases, ginger jars, and figurines. My intention is to maintain the ancient art of making Celadon and stoneware so that our future generations can enjoy these pieces. Together with other artists, we have created beautiful handcrafted pieces with ornate incisions and basreliefs. My work and my clients have changed over time. In the past, the majority of my clients have been older generations who liked only replica pieces like vases or lidded containers fully incised or in bas relief. I have been concentrating on both traditional and modern pieces. I have always loved to draw, which is why I started working at my parent's workshop. As time passed, I learned the full process from my hands-on experience. Mr. Walker, one of my parents' best friends, taught me the recipe for the wood ash glaze. I have also learned other glaze recipes from many ceramic experts in order to add more color options to our products. I must say that working with glazes is one of my favorite forms of art. I never feel tired of working in Celadon ceramics, which I have been doing since 1980. My intention is to do my best when making beautiful art pieces for clients to enjoy. This is the most important award for my work. Seeing that clients are pleased with my work and seeing repeated customers is my best inspiration. This motivates me to work harder and pay more attention to details in order to have great art pieces for my clients. Each piece that I work on involves hours of reading and researching to get the most accurate details about the pieces. Once details have been fully collected, a masterpiece is created. After many trials, a masterpiece is completed and tested. As I am working at the kilns, I do more information sharing with the people that I work with. I hope that my products will inspire a lot of people to see the beauty of ceramics. I hope more people will understand and appreciate the art of Celadon ceramic. Each piece that I make has many stories to tell. Each piece is individually signed by the artist who has worked on it. Having my work featured on Novica's site is very good because people can enjoy seeing many beautiful pieces of art by sitting at home in front of the computer. Please note that Duangkamol works with a team of master ceramists, and therefore each piece is signed by the person who made it."
