I am still working with white porcelain at the moment – unfortunately I had some problems with the material but now it is solved and I can go on. 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. On the post: Coffee cups, 80 ml and 180 ml, hand thrown in speckled stoneware and coated with my matte spring green glaze. I will also make some of them for my new shop for the opening st June, 1st! #ceramics #pottery #coffee #series #spring #clay #colourful #handmade #craft #luxury #switzerland #zurich #zürich #pottery #ceramic #craft #cup #exclusive #makersgonnamake #collection #photo #green #espresso #tableware #zen #japan #korea #china #flatwhite #design Likes: [igp-likes]... 18 April, 2018

Drying….. Also these porcelain teabowls had to dry after they were thrown and trimmed. The drying time ist the longest in the process – in my story you can see my pots for Singapore: They are now drying their last night before they will go to the bisquit firing. #ceramics #tea #artwork #simplicity #modern #minimalism #colourful #singapore #porcelain #craft #luxury #switzerland #zurich #zürich #pottery #töpferei #dark #exhibition #art #artoftheday #photooftheday #photo #bowl #shadow #zen #japan #korea #china #perfection #series Likes: [igp-likes]... 02 Februar, 2018

Another studio scene during my absence – at least the little white flowers are in the window and some of my vases: I will be back soon….In the meantime I am grateful that @prettybadassleo is caring about my plants and make some pictures from the studio. So I can see: Everything is fine there. #nature #ceramics #simplicity #modern #winter #vase #minimalism #kunst #colourful #flowers #craft #luxury #switzerland #zurich #zürich #pottery #white #pastel #exclusive #artoftheday #photo #poetry #zen #japan #korea #china #perfection #design Likes: [igp-likes]... 11 Januar, 2018

Like the sky or the ocean: These little beauties make me dream – another coffee cup impression. I love the rough blue stoneware clay together with my matt blue glaze. And the blue of the cups together with the dark brown from the blue mountain coffee match well Blue allover! I also made two sizes of these cups, medium size for a cappuccino and a smaller size for espresso. My father was born in Italy, he sure was an ‚influencer‘ for my coffee taste……The gems are available in my shop in Zurich and also in my online shop: shop.helga-ritsch.ch . And new: They are available at the concept store 90sqm in Zurich! I made about 80 coffee- and espressocups and throw them with three different clays: When I finished with one clay, it was a lot to clean before I could start with the next type. Being a potter is not the easy way……I am often suprised that so many seem to dream about it? #coffee #ceramics #espresso #blue #modern #minimalism #brand #colourful #tableware #craft #luxury #switzerland #zurich #zürich #pottery #matt #lifestyle #cup #exclusive #artoftheday #photooftheday #photo #bowl #cappuccino #tableware #zen #japan #korea #china #perfection #new Likes: [igp-likes]... 19 November, 2017
In spring I planted hydrangea in my garden and their color gave me inspiration for these glazes. I tried to achieve these colors for the coffeecups I planned to make for this winter season – here they are! I made two sizes and five different colors: lavendel, iceblue, springgreen, darkrose and white – the galzes are all matt on a speckled stoneware clay. Available in my shop in Zurich or via my online shop.helga-ritsch.ch . And: They are also available at the concept store 90sqm in Zurich. More information will follow! I am happy that all the 80 coffeecups came out of the kiln in a nice result, I was very curious about because I not often create glazes with colorpigments – I was relieved to see that the colors really are like the ones from my hydrangeas in my garden….. I am now working on my next project and I am throwing 61 porcelain bowls for the exhibition that will start December 1st. I have not a lot of time and I am working quite hard. Will show you more about in the next days – and tell you what I am doing with all these bowls….. #coffee #ceramics #espresso #pastel #modern #minimalism #brand #colourful #tableware #craft #luxury #switzerland #zurich #zürich #pottery #matt #lifestyle #cup #exclusive #artoftheday #photooftheday #photo #bowl #cappuccino #tableware #zen #japan #korea #china #perfection #new Likes: [igp-likes]... 17 November, 2017
Coffeedream! Do you remember? A few days ago, I showed a post with these coffee cups in the making – here they are now ready for use! Perfect to become a favourite gem because when they are full of delicious coffee or tea they are warm but not hot in the hands and you can just walk around without holding a saucer or something like that. I like this….. I made different designs, these cups are thrown with a dark brown clay and covered with my favourite black iron glaze. Available in my shop in Zurich or via my online shop.helga-ritsch.ch or at the 90SQM shop in Zurich at he Badenerstrasse 175! I love them!

So sorry for the confusion about the last posts – I tried to explain to my mother how IG is working, that is why I corrected and deleted and posted My mother was twentytwo when I was born, she is not extremely old now – but not from the millenium generation: I needed good nerves….But here again the table with the coffeecups, still drying, now on the top because the bottom dries better like this. I am at the studio every day because I have still a lot to do, glazing, cleaning, trimming and and – soon soon I will present the result. Happy weekend to everybody! #ceramics #coffee #artwork #simplicity #modern #minimalism #colourful #weekend #porcelain #craft #luxury #switzerland #zurich #zürich #pottery #töpferei #dark #exhibition #art #artoftheday #photooftheday #photo #bowl #shadow #zen #japan #korea #china #perfection #series Likes: [igp-likes]... 04 November, 2017
Do you remember? A few days ago, I showed a post about a milestone of the design process for a tableware selection. We have now decided which colours we will use in production. The shapes have already been chosen: I started throwing this morning and I am now at my coffee break….! Everything has to be ready Sunday, November, 26th – this is the day when this new collection will launch exclusively for the beautiful concept store 90SQM in Zurich. I will be personally at the 90SQM shop from 14 – 17 and happy to meet you there! More details will follow – stay tuned!

I am quite busy at the moment and I am working on different projects: My days are long.This post shows a step from the design process for a tableware selection. We – the customer and me – discussed a lot and then I made the first shape studies and I also mixed the glazes. It is always an exciting moment when the first pieces come out of the kiln. Here they are! We have now to decide which colours we will use in production. The shapes have already been chosen – now it is up to me! Everything has to be ready November, 26th – this is the day when this new collection will launch exclusively for a concept store in Zurich. More details will follow – stay tuned!
