Friday evening at home: One of my smaller cylinder vases with white peony, magazines and books waiting to be read. A strict and exciting week lies behind me. And today – my usual ‚open studio Friday’ – I was visited by very nice and interesting people: One of my vessels is now going to Dubai and some lovely people from Zurich will soon have their ceramics at home. Enjoy your weekend, I do the same! #ceramics #vase #flowers #interiordesign #interiorinspo #ceramicforinterior #peony #white #weekend #weekendvibes #magazine #craft #helgaritschceramics #homesweethome #homedecor #handmade #friday #studio #studiolife #elledecor #furniture #painting #art #fineart #artisthome #artisthouse #pottery #contemporaryart #collection #collector Likes: [igp-likes]... 05 Juni, 2020
I am happy to give you a glimpse into my summer studio where I will be working in July and August. I will be there from July 18 to August 15 and you can visit me on Fridays 12-6 and any time by appointment. Please note that during this period my Zurich based studio is open only by appointment. I will work in the same way as in Zurich, but I plan some small events in addition like a ‚tea salon‘ with my friend @natasha.vaidya on a Saturday in July or August. My summer studio is a very old house from the 16th century with its own character and it is only basically renovated. I will present my own work – also as a work in progress because I am working there at the wheel and every week the setting will change – and my small private art collection with some wonderful iron works from my friend @motomu_oyama and small paintings f.e. from @gabriele_herzog or a big cartoon series from P.R. and others. I am still planning my summer weeks in the studio. Of course I will offer tea and coffee in my own cups and you can visit my four rooms full of books, ceramics, painting, photos. I will be there with a lot of time especially on Fridays. My summer studio is in Soazza, a small and beautiful village in Switzerland, near Bellinzona and you could enjoy a nice day there. Hope to see many of you!

A beginning – in 2006 I started with one of my first tableware collections: All pieces were hand thrown from stoneware and after the first firing, I coated them with different celadon craquele glazes that I created for this collection. It was a production time that I stopped more or less five years later. In 2018, I felt like in these days…… #ceramics #tableware #handmade #past #collection #pottery #zurich #exclusive #eat #switzerland #productdesign #craft #tbt #japan #series #zen #longtimeago #quality #food #interiordesign #cups Likes: [igp-likes]... 21 Januar, 2019
It is after midnight here in Zurich and I should better sleep than dream of my coffee from tomorrow morning….two brown coffee cups of my tableware collection ‚pur‘ – cups, bowls, plates in different sizes and in four colors. All pieces hand thrown from stoneware, coated with craquele glazes. This was my first tableware collection, I started with these simple shapes already in 2004 and the collection is still one of my favourite and I use it every day since 2004, seems timeless. #ceramics #ceramic #coffee #tableware #coffeejug #glass #brown #japanesecoffee #coffeelover #minimalism #simple #collection #timeless #zen #pur #drink #pottery #handmade #morning #sleep #midnight #color #clean #contemporary #zurich #light #edition Likes: [igp-likes]... 18 Dezember, 2018

In the upcoming days I will go back to one of my passion and start with things around tea. It was not always a passion, around twenty years ago I had no idea that teabowls exist….but when I made my first one – as an exercise when I learnt to throw – I started reading uncountable books about tea, tea ceremony, teahouses etc. You might know that I was trained as an architect and philosopher before I started my days behind a potter wheel. So I love reading. I still do. These days I was reading ‚the buried giant‘ by Kazuo Ishiguro. A brilliant book with an unforgettable end….and with a very interesting main topic. Read it! On the photo: A tea bowl in stoneware, hand thrown and coated with an extraordinary black glaze that looks magic. This one is sold – but soon I have new ones available in my studio. Btw: I ship worldwide without any problems. #tea #ceramics #stoneware #black #tableware #keramik #teabowl #pottery #series #perfection #handmade #craft #glaze #making #simple #elegant #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #fashion #modern #japan #drink #concept #minimalism Likes: [igp-likes]... 19 November, 2018
Back to the roots, 2: In 2006 I made one of my first tableware collection, called ‚PUR’. These days I am working again on that collection for a reorder of a client who is using the dishes since 2007. He needs new plates and bowls for a party of sixteen. The plates will have a diamerer of 30cm, they are quite big and I need a lot of energy to make them…..I am also working on new stoneware tea bowls, finally! It is a pleasure to work with stoneware clay – so different from porcelain! All the pieces on the pic are hand thrown in 2006 with stoneware clay and I coated them with different celadon craquele glazes – I created some colors, kind of blue, green, brown and yellow. I am still using a lot of plates and cups from these days and my first collection – most of the pieces are twelve years old: I am a bit proud – great quality! #ceramics #tableware #handmade #home #collection #pottery #zurich #exclusive #eat #switzerland #pottery #craft #family #japan #series #zen #longtimeago #past #quality #artwork #interiordesign #blue #green #black #tea #coffee #dishes #paradise Likes: [igp-likes]... 12 Oktober, 2018
Black is beauty – white is beauty, too. My second tableware collection ‚PUR’, 2014. Bowls, plates and cups, different sizes, all hand thrown in white porcelain, with the red thread. It is my every day choice at my studio on the south side of Switzerland. Love them all. I am currently in Venice and everything is just wonderful except one small thing: We forget the espresso cups from the PUR collection….. #ceramics #white #tableware #simplicity #modern #minimalism #artist #handmade #collection #porcelain #craft #red #switzerland #zurich #pottery #maker #table #art #light #photo #bowl #elegant #handmade #zen #japan #korea #soul #helgaritschceramics Likes: [igp-likes]... 02 September, 2018

Some white porcelain tea or coffe or dessert cups, in use for years: These cups are hand thrown in white porcelain, with the red thread – I made this tableware for our own house after I have finished the renovation. It is the only ‚special made‘ for me and my family. Sometimes I think I should more make for myself, not only taking at home ‚the second choice‘ pieces. Every year at Chrismas I say to my family: Next year we will eat from new plates and drink from new cups, specially made for us. I say this for about fifteen years…. #tea #ceramics #ceramic #porcelain #artist #makersgonnamake #handmade #craft #elegant #zen #coffee #tableware #pottery #zurich #switzerland #fineart #series #simple #minimalism #japan #white #cup #tealover #dessert #helgaritschceramics #collection Likes: [igp-likes]... 29 Juni, 2018
Still waiting: I made this tea bowl for one of my first collectors, he started collecting my works many years ago.

Here it is – a blue porcelain bowl that I made last summer. Unfortunately I had no time to go on with that blue material. The medium sized bowl is hand thrown, no glaze bit sanded.

A few words on my schedule. But first: Porcelain beakers, hand thrown and inside coated with a transprent glaze. On Monday, I will start with a new series of them, some are going to Los Angeles, others are for a friend in Zurich. When the white beakers will be in the kiln, I will go back to black porcelain, also for a client in Los Angeles and for another in New York. I will then make some blue vessels for a collector here in Zurich, one of my first collectors. He is an art historian and he already has a beautiful collection of my work from the last fifeteen years. Then I will start with stoneware, going on with a quite big order for a restaurant and also for a private houshold and some smaller thing for a wedding, and then back to black porcelain for a big order for another private houshold. What I wanted to say, is: I am really very sorry but I am not able to take over more orders before October. I am working alone in my studio and do not want to change this. So my capacity is limited. And I need enough time for my work, so please understand that at the moment I am not able to work wirhin three or four weeks for an individual commission. And: It would be great if we could discuss your wishes now for f.e. to realize them until autumn – then I could block my time for your project. Of course I always have some work on stock, so please feel free to pass by at my shop in Zurich!

When I have finished all the besutiful porcelain pieces, I will go back to these stoneware cups for a restaurant order and also to more black ramen bowls.

In 2006 – yes, twelve years ago – I made one of my first tableware collections. Slide through the pictures on the post, you will find most of the pieces I made and on one of the last photos you will see my house where I lived and worked – it was my paradise…. All pieces were hand thrown wirh stoneware clay and I coated them with different celadon craquele glazes – I created some colors, kind of blue, green, brown and yellow.

It was such a beautiful light – I love to see the plates and cups and their white in the morning sun in my rural studio: this is a part from my porcelain tableware for breakfast, each piece is wheelthrown with limoges porcelain and a little bit different.

All the plates I showed in the post from yesterday are trimmed and I no give them four days to dry…. Normally I let the pieces dry for a week, but as you know, with these plates I am in a hurry. We have some sunny days in Zurich and I am sure four days will be enoughDuring the plates are drying I start with glazing the twenty big bowls I made. I glaze them all by hand: When I started my own studio – about fifeteen years ago – I worked with a lot of machines like a de-airing pugmill, spray booth etc. One year ago I sold all of them and started working more by hand. Now I only have a potter’s wheel and a kiln and my two hands – that is it. Say hello if you are interested in my ceramic work!

Black porcelain without any glaze – a teabowl in black porcelain with a black thread. I made twenty of them, all of them with a red thread as usual, but for the last one I took a black one. I love to mark my work at the end of my making process with this thread and I do this for more than ten years – it remembers me to my childhood because my mother was a tailor and I grew up between at least thousend meters of threads.

Matcha tea bowl on a Monday evening: Waiting for the green powder. I love matcha tea and whenever I find time, I drink it in the late afternoon, it is one of the best accompaniment for me and a constant value like my black coffee in the morning.

A teabowl couple in porcelain, a wedding present: Also these two beautiful bowls have a very white and special outside, whitout any glaze. But I polished them several times so they get a kind of smouth, a soft powder finish, very tactile and tender. The bowls are both wheelthrown and high fired so they are hard and translucent. And to show that they are made by me, I gave them my red thread. I wish the wedding couple all the best for a long love! Say hello if you are interested in my ceramic work!

Today I was a bit confused: A client asked me in my shop if I don’t know how to make handles….first I did not understand but then I realized that he interpreted my formal language – cups or judges without handles – as an incapacity! I laughed and showed him pots from my first tableware collection – also wheel thrown, stoneware and coated with one of my first craquele glazes -, created in 2006 and tried to explain my ‘philosophy’. At the end he wanted to buy he old stuff. Maybe I should restart in adding handles….. Say hello if you are interested in my ceramic work!

And here the tea or coffee cups or bowls from the stoneware tableware collection I am producing since 2008: The whole collection is wheel thrown and consists of four different sizes of plates, three sizes of bowls, two sizes of mugs and two big bowls. The pieces are available in four different craquele glazes as seagreen, springgreen, iceblue and earthbrown and in additional in black – shiny or matt – and in matt white. Not all of the colors are always on stock, so I start to produce them after the order and then it takes about four weeks until they are ready for delivery. That is the way I am working for the tableware orders: Each piece is unique because it is wheel thrown by hand without using any forms. If you like this special charactere then we are a good team – say hello if you are interested in my ceramic work!
