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!

Beautiful summer tea bowls, hand thrown, white porcelain. My favourite pieces, too. I have always some teabowls in porcelain and in stoneware in my showroom: Pass by on Wednesday to Friday 12-6 and on Saturday 11-2. I am still in Zurich next week and then my studio will be closed until August 15th. #tea #ceramics #ceramic #porcelain #artist #makersgonnamake #handmade #craft #elegant #zen #collector #tableware #pottery #zurich #switzerland #fineart #white #simple #minimalism #japan #blue #cup #tealover #korea #helgaritschceramics #collection Likes: [igp-likes]... 14 Juli, 2018

Still waiting: I made this tea bowl for one of my first collectors, he started collecting my works many years ago. He wrote me yesterday that he is still in Chicago and sent me some wonderful picturs from the Art Institute: I have so many interesting and lovely ‚customers‘ – this means the world for me, thank you! Tea bowl, hand thrown, blue porcelain.

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. When I have finished the white porcelain work I will start again with the blue porcelain for a small order. #ceramics #ceramic #porcelain #blue #handmade #craft #elegant #zen #dark #tableware #pottery #zurich #switzerland #fineart #series #simple #minimalism #japan #korea #collector #collection #art #bowl #artist #maker #precious #luxury Likes: [igp-likes]... 13 Mai, 2018
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! Have a happy weekend everybody! #ceramics #ceramic #porcelain #white #zen #simple #handmade #makersgonnamake #maker #elegant #collection #collector #restaurant #drink #fineart #photography #picture #zurich #switzerland #losangeles #newyork #house #japan #minimalism #pure #simplicity #weekend Likes: [igp-likes]... 04 Mai, 2018
