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 .

Tbt 2006. Sundaymorning, when looking for a new picture to post…..I found that old one: Edition ‚Potterpieces’, November 2006. Jar and beakers. The jar is handthrown from stoneware and coated with my white matte glaze, the beakers are from porcelain.

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.

I am deeply sad. Ceramist master Mathies Schwarze died a few days ago. Hard to accept. He was my master for five years and I learnt so much from him. The picture of the vases is from one of his exhibitions in Switzerland. Take care Marhies!

Time is running and me, too! In a few days, I will fly to Tokyo for my solo exhibition: I present a small selection of my white porcelain work @het_labo_atrium. During my days in Japan, my open studio evenings on every Thursday from 5-8 will be managed by Samira-Carla – she will be happy to welcome you in Zurich. I am grateful that she finds time to be at the studio on these Thursday evenings. She will show you the work and answer to your questions: As a master student in Art History she is familiar with my work, intention and ideas. I am sure that my space is in good hands! More about the exhibition in Japan, my studios in Zurich and Soazza, cooperations and private works you will find on my website www.helga-ritsch.com .

Tomorrow, Thursday, open studio 5-8: I changed the opening hours for my Zurich based studio. I realized that I need more time for concentrate working and unfortunately it is no longer possible for me to open my studio doors every day without an appointment. As I already wrote, It was really lovely to welcome so many people but at the same time it was difficult to work with the concentration that I need for my pieces. So I am happy when you visit me in my studio by appointment or: Every Thursday from 5 to 8. And tomorrow it is Thursday! So please come and visit me and my studio in Zurich. On the post and in my studio window: Three breakfast sets with bowl and cup, hand thrown from black porcelain, with the black thread. Vase from black porcelain, with the thread. All pieces of the collection ‚blackbeauties‘, launched in 2017.

In love with my handthrown black stoneware bowls, available in two sizes: h 9 cm and d 19 cm or h 7.5 cm and d 14.5 cm. Some of them with the black thread in the foot. Every bowl is very special because of the stunning glaze effect that you can guess on the two pictures.

In January, I changed the opening hours for my Zurich based studio. I realized during the last year that I need more time for my work and unfortunately it is no longer possible for me to open my studio doors during the whole week without an appointment.

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.

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 Likes: [igp-likes]... 22 Januar, 2019

White porcelain bowl, medium size and translucent, with the red thread: I started working for my solo exhibition in Tokyo, Opening March 16th, 2019. I will be there – are you there, too? Would be great to see many of you, of course: Details will follow. In January, my studio in Zurich is open only by appointment because I need all my time and concentration to finish some orders of the last year and especially for the exhibition in Tokio. I hope everybody will understand that at the moment there is no possibility for me to take over more work. When I am back from Japan, I will start to realize new ideas. #ceramics #ceramic #exhibition #white #handmade #art #artist #craft #elegant #zen #porcelain #bowl #pottery #zurich #switzerland #fineart #simple #minimalism #japan #tokyo #gallery #quiet #magic #poetry #korea #empty Likes: [igp-likes]... 11 Januar, 2019

Trip to the past – ‚Blue Lines‘ was the title of that exhibition: I made one hundred of beakers, hand thrown from stoneware and coated with my blue cristal glaze. I presented these beakers in 2005 in different spaces in Switzerland and Germany. #ceramics #blue #exhibition #handmade #pottery #beaker #tableware #minimalism #empty #water #zurich #contemporaryart #life #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics Likes: [igp-likes]... 10 Januar, 2019
‚Silence‘ was the titel of the exhibition that I presented in 2008 in my own gallery rooms. Matcha tes bowls hand thrown from stoneware and coated with a red iron galze. Also the teo vases were made like this. It was a unforgettable exhibition….in our unforgettable farm- and studiohouse. #tea #ceramics #ceramic #red #exhibition #vase #handmade #art #artist #craft #elegant #zen #dark #bowl #pottery #zurich #switzerland #fineart #simple #minimalism #japan #tokyo #gallery #quiet #magic #poetry #korea #empty Likes: [igp-likes]... 06 Januar, 2019
