My way to pottery – part 4. In 2002 I started working at the potter’s wheel. For ever unforgettable is the first step: During one hour I have a first fight with about 200g of clay. After this hour I was a piece of clay and water – my hair, my clothes, my shoes, the space around me. It was terrible. I never, never wanted go back to this machine, I wanted bring back it to where I bought it. But I did not. Instead of this I started looking for somebody who could help me. Not only in the technical way, I felt, that I needed someone who could motivate me…… I looked around for about a year and was not happy with the classes I found and took part. But then I saw him and his works – my post from today shows some of his vases – and I suddenly knew: He was the one I was looking for. I stay with him for five years. Three days a week from the morning to the evening I was in his studio fighting with clay and more. Sometime it was a horrible time and sometime one of the best I ever had. It was all about practice and balancing. During this time I made my first exhibitions, I opened my first potter studio. In 2008 I stopped. I needed a rest to think about all: Should I go on? Should I stop forever? Was pottery the thing I wanted to go on with? #ceramics #vase #studio #studio #architecture #masterpiece #pottery #series #perfection #handmade #craft #clay #making #simple #exhibition #project #abstract #perfect #past #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #scene #modern #japan #elegant #korea #china #nature Likes: [igp-likes]... 06 März, 2017
Our house and the studio entrance in 2008. My way to pottery – part 3. For the next three years I was working on that tile production: I bought a first kiln, a lot of clay and other materials and books. I learnt a lot about clay and glazes and temperature, I made a lot of mistakes,too and sometimes it was very frustrating. But I never gave up: The moment, when I opened the door of the kiln was unique and made me forget all the negative feelings. The tiles became part of walls, bathrooms, kitchen, halls, swimming pools and I was very busy. Not only with my architectural projects. As I already wrote I had three littles daughters at that time and: I had another company as well. In 1996 I founded an education and communication company and it grew to a business with more than fifty employees and hundreds of clients who were coming and going the whole day. So I balanced between three stages for years. The ceramic studio was the only place where I was a little moment for myself and I needed it – and I wanted to go on. That is why I bought a potter’s wheel. I suspected: This would be a challenge – but I did not know at this moment, how challanging it would be in reality….. #ceramics #tea #studio #porcelain #architecture #atelier #pottery #series #colors #handmade #craft #clay #making #simple #countryhouse #project #abstract #perfect #past #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #scene #modern #japan #elegant #korea #china #nature Likes: [igp-likes]... 04 März, 2017

May way to pottery, part 2: Unfortunately the potter class was over after six month. So my teapot was there on a shelve and waited, but: I forgot to pick it up – do you remember? I was seventeen and looking back it seems I had a lot of more important things to do:-). It is a petty, of course, and I would love to have the teapot with me, discussing form and technique just now. But it is gone. Well, for the next ten years I stopped working with clay and pots. I spent all my time at the University, first at the department of Architecture in Zurich, then I changed to the department of Philosophy, studying History of Art and German. Why I changed? I become a quite young mother and I realized that it was impossible to combine the Architecture studies with my newborn baby. Everybody who studied at the Department of Architecture in Zurich, knows why. Btw: I have three daughters. But this is another story. So, the mentioned ten years later, I saw a notice at the University about a potter weekend in the mountains. I decided to go there. It was about Raku. I wanted to make a butter can and this was a very bad idea: Raku is not the best technique for a butter can. Nevertheless it was many years with us and we were amazed about all the fat spots. My husband – still the same as today and the one who takes most of the photos for my instagram feed: Thank you! @gion.andriu.artist – loved this work. But to be honest, I was quite happy when it broke into two because I hated the fat spots …….. I am not Joseph Beuys. Why this butter can was full of fat and dissolved more or less? At this time, I suspected: The pottery seems to be an endless field with a lot of questions. After the teapot and butter can experience I changed the subject: I wanted to create something for the house I built – yes, I was back to Architecture. So I started my third experience with clay: I began with tile production. That was in 1998. #ceramics #tile #gold #stoneware #architecture #artwork #pottery #series #colors #handmade #craft #clay #making #pattern #dots #project #abstract #perfect #contemporaryart #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #scene #modern #japan #elegant #korea #china #exhibition Likes: [igp-likes]... 02 März, 2017
