Work in progress! This night, the last of the sixteen stoneware plates will go into the kiln. Some others are drying after glazing. Plates are always a bit tricky to make. These ones are quite big with an end diameter of 30 cm…..Stoneware, all hand thrown and abailable in four different craqueles glazes: Plates, bowls and cups of my first tableware collection that I made. Collection ‚PUR‘, 2006. #ceramics #ceramic #stoneware #color #handmade #craft #elegant #zen #dark #dishes #pottery #zurich #switzerland #fineart #series #simple #minimalism #japan #autumn #helgaritschceramics #elegant #plate #bowl #tableware #food

Monday morning mood: Two simple white and translucent tea bowls in porcelain, they are waiting for the morning tea in the studio. I have a short way to take from my house to the studio and first thing I do there is making hot water for tea. Then I decide how to start. My ‚mountain‘ studio is not as organized as the one in Zurich, it is completely different here. I am working here in a very old house from the 16th century, it is a darker house, quiet and with views on mountains and small streets. It is interesting how the environment influences my mood and my work. Hope you can get that feeling through the picture? The photo is taken – as quite all photos on my feed btw – by my husband: Thank you @gion.andriu.artist , once again for your support – I know you do not want to be mentioned but I am not always obidient….. #tea #ceramics #pottery #porcelain #tealover #tableware #handmade #craft #morning #autumn #scene #zen #zurich #switzerland #drink #luxury #style #clay #iron #korea #china #interiordesign #homedecor #inspiration #poetry #dark #photooftheday #perfection

Vase – handthrown dark clay coated with a white matte glaze. This is the last piece of a series of twelve. Maybe I keep it for my house and my flowers: I am sure all potters know the feeling when a favourite work is gone, it is often followed from a kind of emptiness. That is why I keep a work from time to time because I try to avoid this feeling. Silly, I know….

Teacups coated with a green celadon craquele glaze – there are always some of these in my shop because I love them very much: I started with this shape more then ten years ago and it is still one of my favourites and I think it is a timeless classic. I also make them in porcelain or in a black clay as well as in regular stoneware in different colors: In a warm brown, an ice blue and in the green you see on the pic.

Porcelain teabowl – I like the very fine form of the bowl and it is a pleasure to drink a warm tea – especially when it is so horrible cold outside: below zero celsius here in Switzerland .

My Japan trip comes to an end: Last day in Tokyo with three of my teacups, an iron black one, a translucent porcelain one and a celadon green one. I spent very interesting days in Japan and met wonderful people around, drunk a lot of tea and coffee as well and and and….. I really hope to come back one day: Million thanks to all the Japanese, you are just great!
