Mondaymorning in my Zurich based studio and shop. I am here to check the kiln temperature. I try not to work on Mondays when I was in the studio during the whole weekend. There is still a lot to do until 1st of July and I am still busy with the orders from the last months…. Wish you all a great start into the new week. Most of the time it is cold and grey in Zurich: Spring, where are you?!? #ceramics #tea #exhibition #handmade #pottery #shop #minimalism #studio #mondaymood #zurich #contemporaryart #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics #melancholie #spring #vessels #grateful

Weekend mood – it is raining outside and I was working the whole day in the studio and finished the big white porcelain plates. A difficult and tricky work that needed all my concentration. For that, the rainy day was perfect. The plates are now drying. On that post: Two tea bowls from white porcelain, hand thrown with the red thread.

Again: Blue hour in Zurich, my blue hour…..I am going into these days 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 finish old things and also to develop new things. I call this state my ‚blue hour‘. It is a transition with an open end. Something unpleasant but essential for my creative work. On the picture: Jar and teabowls, hand thrown from blue porcelain with an orange thread: My favourite color is orange, btw….. #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
