Three weeks ago, before I closed my studio doors for holidays, I glazed all these pieces and put them into the kiln. When I am back in a few days, I will open the door of my kiln and let me be surprised by the result. So I go on holiday every time – if not, I would probably never come back. #ceramics #ceramic #studio #atelier #clay #glaze #pottery #workinprogress #workgroup #teabowl #coffeelover #art #working #handmade #craft #zurich #switzerland #italy #surprise #contemporaryart #holiday #vessel #pieces #italy #table #artistlife

Me in Tokyo – for the new followers from the last month, thank you! My short CV and an ‚artist statement‘ to answer to your questions about my background – at least some of the questions, the easy ones about dates and education: 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 – but without a Swiss passport. 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: Cours of studies at ETH Zurich . Architecture Department (today B.A.) #ceramics #pottery #artist #studio #portrait #education #artiststatement #me #architecture #philosophy #life #switzerland #maker #craft #woman #makersgonnamake #craft #japan #china #korea #asia #beauty #serenety #simple #zen #emptyness #weekend #biography
