HOPE: The summer will definitely come back. 2019. For two decades I have been working sporadically on groups of works with the main titles ‚HOPE‘ and ‚HOPELESS‘. With ‚HOPE: the summer will definitely come back‘ I present another work that fits into this topic. The group I created in 2019 – consisting of seven hand thrown vessels in different sizes and shapes – is dedicated to the melancholy I have had since childhood: It always comes when the summer comes to an end.

Work in progress, but soon finished: White porcelain teabowls, small and delicate – they are a little bit like a nothing. To make them, I need a lot of concentration and patience: To throw such treasures in porcelain is not always possible for me, I have to wait for the right mood…… #ceramics #white #tealover #nothing #simplicity #modern #minimalism #interiordesign #craft #porcelain #handmade #pottery #switzerland #zurich #loveceramic #contemporary #workinprogress #tea #exhibition #art #light #photo #bowl #tokyo #zen #japan #korea #china #perfection

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

Flowerpower! Last Friday, Fred @banditbloggers visited my studio and took some great pictures, two of them I show in the current post: Some of my green and blue vases, wheel thrown im stoneware, with my gallery flowers. I love the vases and also the flowers – every Tuesday I buy some new ones on the market for my studio, for me and of course for all the people around. Everybody can see them because they are well placed in the middle of the showroom and also visible from the outside. Many people from the neighborhood tell me that they enjoy my flowers and vases every day. It is also beautiful for me to see them on the photos: Thank you very much, Fred – hope to see you soon for a drink! Unfortunately I had no time on that Friday afternoon because there were so many clients in my shop…..My ceramic studio and shop in Zurich is a also space and gallery for art, crafts and literature: Open Tuesday- Friday 13 -18 h and by appointment! Current: 20.4.-20.5. Leopold I.Krebs ‚ eat and let grow‘ .

Plates 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! From Tuesday to Friday, 13-18h I am in my studio and shop in Zurich – or, if you are not around, write me a message. Would be nice to meet you! #food #ceramics #plate #teabowl #tableware #keramik #restaurant #pottery #glaze #perfection #handmade #crafts #series #making #simple #elegant #contemporary #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #concept #delicious # japan #eat #finefood
