During a residency in China september 2017, I found myself influenced by a new work environment. The glass studio was based in Jingdezhen, the porcelain heritage city of the world. I was submerged in a foreign world, but this new environment led me to a new idea: throwing pâte de verre on a potters wheel, a cross-over between glass and ceramics. We named it “Lapi Boli.” Lapi is the Chinese word for the ceramic throwing technique; boli is the word for glass. Research to develop the technique and reassessing the old technologies will be conducted with the assistance of Ayako Tani (UK/JP) - glassartist/researcher, Hans de Kruijk (NL) - glass technologist (retired) Royal Leerdam Glass Factory (NL), Hao Ran Zhu (CHN, 2017) and Wilma Hornsveld (NL, 2018-2019) - ceramic artists.
The project is selected for New Glass Review 39, 2018 and New Glass Review 40, 2019 by Corning Museum of Glass - USA. Curator Anjali Snirivasan - Curators Perspective New Glass Review 39: '.... The Lapi Boli Project by Krista Israel, Ayako Tani and Hao Ran Zhu, reminds me that reassessing even the oldest technologies can generate pathbreaking shifts in habits and change preconceived notions about proces'.
