Jonathan Sapir

Jonathan Sapir is a designer based in Jerusalem. He began working with jewellery and wood eight years ago, before moving into ceramics and glass. Over time, his work has shifted from jewellery and smaller objects to larger sculptural pieces.

Much of his work begins with material research and testing how different materials can be brought together within a single object. Techniques and ways of making often move from one material into another, allowing the properties and limitations of each material to shape the final form.

He works mainly with ceramics and glass, using transparency to reveal internal forms and change how familiar objects are seen. Jonathan is currently studying at the Department of Ceramic and Glass Design at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.
