Coffee is over, Monday morning can start! Beakers and cups are handthrown from white porcelain to test some colors for something: I do not remember what is was: Around fifteen years ago my ceramic world was colorful for a short time. And still I have these pieces in use… #ceramics #coffee #morning #handmade #pottery #artist #espresso #colors #yellow #pink #blue #porcelain #craft #past #zurich #switzerland #elegant #simple #funny #goodmorning #mondaymorning #modern #contemporaryart

In January, I started with a review on my work, with some ups and downs in my studio and private life and at the end all is going on as on that picture: Quiet moment in my Zurich based workshop, Saturday night feeling, pensive. I started on IG three years ago because of a radical change in my business life. I had no idea how many people will follow my pictures and ideas here on this open platform. There were a lot of wonderful moments here during the last three years – and some difficult ones with people who knows no respect, no limits, no honesty. Interesting to realise. #ceramics #tea #exhibition #handmade #pottery #blue #minimalism #empty #monday #zurich #contemporaryart #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics

Another trip to the past and to another of my absolutely loved chicken: This one, called ‚the queen of the night’, now lives in Rome in a beautiful garden. As I told yesterday, in 2002, I made a series of seven of these sculptures, all handmade and fired in an open fire – every chick has a different character. This one I made with a black clay. The pieces are quite big with a hight of around 50 cm and tricky to make: The body often cracked. Only a few of my work survived: For example this one. #sculpture #ceramics #ceramic #contemporaryart #black #handmade #craft #makersgonnamake #zen #dark #handbuilt #pottery #zurich #switzerland #favourite #art #simple #artist #japan #geneva #exhibition #fineart #animal #visualart #clay #chick

Trip to the past and to my absolutely loved chicken: This lady now lives in Geneva at a collectors home. In 2002, I made a series of seven of these sculptures, all handmade and fired in an open fire – every chick has a completely different character. The dark smoke traces on their body came from the open firing. They are big, h 50 cm and very hard to make: A big body has to be fired like in an african ipen field fire and the body often cracked. Only a few of my work survived: I am still in love with them – one is mine. #ceramics #ceramic #porcelain #black #handmade #craft #elegant #zen #dark #handbuilt #pottery #zurich #switzerland #favourite #series #simple #minimalism #japan #geneva #exhibition #fineart #animal #smoke #clay #sculpture #chick

A beginning – in 2006 I started with one of my first tableware collections: All pieces were hand thrown from stoneware and after the first firing, I coated them with different celadon craquele glazes that I created for this collection.

Blue hour in Zurich…..I am going into the weekend with melancholy: A strange feeling that I often have when something has come to an end and something new should start. I have been very busy in recent months and urgently need time to develop new things. I call this state my ‚blue hour‘. I am sure that some of you know this feeling. It is a transition with an open end. Something unpleasant but essential for my creative work. I will see what happens in the coming weeks and I will show it: I am curious what you will say! Thank you all for the huge support I have received here for the last three years. I am touched by your loyalty. I never expected that: I only make jars – it is great that you like them and that you accompany me on my way. #ceramics #tea #exhibition #handmade #pottery #blue #minimalism #empty #weekend #zurich #contemporaryart #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics #melancholie #bluehour #jars #grateful

Me, dirty and tired in my studio house on the South of Switzerland. I was cleaning the studio for hours and it was probably not the best time to take a picture….But anyway: My short CV and an ‚artist statement‘ to answer to your questions about my background: The main focus of my work in porcelain and stoneware is the visual search for simplicity, serenity and beauty. Before I started my five years education as a ceramic artist, I built an academic background in Architecture, Art History and Philosophy and made then the bridge to craft. I am a quality worker not a quantity one: My work needs its time, sometimes a lot. CV: Born in Switzerland. I started my work as an independent ceramic artist in 1998 without a wheel. 2001-2006: Apprenticeship for ceramist with Master ceramist Mathies Schwarze, Germany. Wheel throwing. 1989-1995: Course of studies at the University of Zurich . Art History/German Philology/Philosophy (today M.A.) 1987-1989: Basic studies at ETH Zurich .

Hi from Zurich! I will start the year with working with porcelain: Tea bowls from white porcelain with the thread. Classical works with foot and the red thread. I am working on these bowls and shapes since around 2004 when I stopped my five year training with my master. I started my own studio with a wide selection of tea bowls, began to add a thread – a very personal decision btw – made my shapes finer and the foot smaller than I learnt and I worked in this ‚style‘ for a long long time. Three years ago I started on Instagram, not knowing what will happen. I will see where the way of my ceramic work will go. #ceramics #tea #exhibition #handmade #pottery #white #minimalism #empty #future #zurich #contemporaryart #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics

I started my own studio with a wide selection of tea bowls, began to add a thread – a very personal decision btw – made my shapes finer and the foot smaller than I learnt and I worked in this ‚style‘ for a long long time. Three years ago I started on Instagram, not knowing what will happen. I will see where the way of my ceramic work will go. #ceramics #tea #exhibition #handmade #pottery #white #minimalism #empty #future #zurich #contemporaryart #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics

Stilllife in black – sometimes it is hard to say nothing. Plates, bowls and a vase, all pieces handthrown from stoneware. The vase with the red thread, made in 2008. #ceramics #ceramic #vessel #exhibition #vase #handmade #art #artist #craft #elegant #zen #black #stilllife #pottery #zurich #switzerland #fineart #simple #minimalism #japan #red #gallery #quiet #magic #poetry #korea #empty

In a few hours it is over: 2018! I present a small selection of my porcelain work on this picture – the stoneware selection will also follow – all pieces are hand thrown from black, blue and white porcelain. More about my projects, cooperations and private works you will find on my website www.helga-ritsch.com . It was a wonderful year, I met so many lovely people, found my new studio in Zurich, sent an incredible amount of pieces around the globe: Thank you all! It is great to be in touch with you: Your support means the world for me! Take care in 2019! #ceramics #ceramic #porcelain #exhibition #blue #handmade #art #artist #craft #elegant #zen #black #white #pottery #zurich #switzerland #fineart #simple #minimalism #japan #tokyo #gallery #quiet #magic #poetry #korea #empty
