Shortly after moving, she started taking sculpture and ceramic classes while developing new scripted geometries. After quite a lot of experimentation, she found a workflow to bring her intricate designs to life and started By Alejandra Design.

The Lime Moondust Bottle is part of the Bottle collection, which is a modern take on the traditional profile of a bottle. Its complex hexagonal structure creates a dynamic, ever-changing appearance depending on the viewing angle.
All bottles are slip-cast and hand dipped with reactive glazes. While fired they become molten and the colours swirl together for a unique effect. Moondust starts its life unlike any other clay bodies. White clay is treated using a specially formulated mason stain to transform the clay into an ethereal black colour. When this body interacts with the patterned glazes, it results in a matte metallic appearance reminiscent of traditional Raku techniques.
