Detail of the white porcelain coffee cups for Hollywood. My stamp – I will tell the story again because so many people is asking about: I have been using that stamp for many years – it is a reminder of my childhood and my father who died early. He always gave me these letter stamps to play when I was in his workshop: He was an engineer. When he died, I took one of these metall letter sets with me, not knowing what for and if I ever would use them…. when I started with ceramics – almost twenty years ago – I began using the stamp with the letter ‚H‘ for all my work – to this day. #ceramics #ceramic #pottery #porcelain #white #childhood #memory #father #stamp #coffeecup #story #handmade #workshop #hollywood #makersgonnamake #zurich #switzerland #longtimeago #food #restaurant #chef #details #letter

A white porcelain plate with my stamp: I have been using that stamp for many years – it is a sweet reminder of my childhood and my father who died early. He always gave me these stamps to play when I was in his workshop: He was an engieneer and was working with iron etc. When he died, I took one of these metall letter sets with me, not knowing what for and if I ever would use them…. when I started with ceramics – almost twenty years ago – I began using the stamp with the letter ‚H‘ for all my work – to this day. #ceramics #ceramic #pottery #porcelain #white #childhood #memory #father #stamp #plate #story #handmade #workshop #iron #makersgonnamake #zurich #switzerland #longtimeago #food #restaurant #chef #details #letter

A simple white porcelain bowl, for example for sugar hearts. The bowl is hand thrown and the inside is coated with a transparent glaze. I like throwing these bowls and I like throwing wih that fine white porcelain, I am working slowly and quiet and I am able to refine the lines; it is a.kind of flow for me. These days I am still working with porcelain and it is a relaxed atmospere in my studio. Btw: The bowl is available, also some with a light green celadon glaze inside. #heart #love #sugar #ceramics #white #porcelain #handmade #handmade #art #food #zurich #pottery #moden #shape #simple #architecture #design #elegant #minimalism #japan #zen #details #sweet

Brilliant team! One of my black porcelain teabowls with a black thread together with a pair of wonderful earrings from my friend and master jeweler @regula_kilchsperger – we are both working in our own studios and they are close to each other in Zurich‘s university district. Sometimes we meet for coffee or tea and sometimes we work together like for our exhibition last December, and sometimes we arrange our work together – like here on this picture! It is great to meet somebody with a similar craft philosophy and with a similar claim to quality. #ceramics #jewelry #porcelain #black #tea #violet #purple #details #craft #gold #earrings #beautiful #gems #tealover #together #friends #master #zurich #switzerland #exhibition #team #elegant #luxury #quality #zen #design #lifestyle #philosophy #fine #art

Sugar hearts in a quite big porcelain bowl – love it! This is a handthrown bowl, very white because I worked with a special porcelain I mixed by myself. Bowls are available in my online shop.

I made twenty teabowls with a stoneware clay and coated them with this wonderful white and matte glaze: Here you can see one of my favourite bowls. All of them have more or less the same shape but with minimal differences because I am not working with a measure instrument but only with my intuition. Today I was very happy to drink my afternoon tea from one of my new tea bowls.

I know, the summer over – but I am still dreaming: I remember the summer table with the vase, and the cups and all the other things – it was such a wonderful sunny and very warm day! Miss it….

The kitchen in my house has a copper cover and I am absolutely in love with the porcelain bowl on it: The bowl – as usual – is handthrown with limoges porcelain and very white and clear. You can fill in quite everything: Tea, coffee, icecream, nuts, a little plant – it is up to you!

This is an original small wooden cupboard from the 16th century in the old house I am renovating as a workshop and gallery in the South of Switzerland. I check the possibilities to present the works: Here for exemple four of my porcelain teabowls. Hope you like it….

Another evening in autumn and another opportunity to drink tea: The teapot is an iron work from a japonese artist, the small black teabowl is a work of mine, handthrown and coated with a special iron glaze. I am in love with this set!

Another scene from the ‘new’ old house I am renovating as a pottery and gallery in the South of Switzerland: This small cupboard is now cleaned! It was hard work but fortunately I had help…. and offers now a beautiful place for a big bowl, handthrown in stoneware and coated with an dark iron glaze. There are a lot of special spaces in this building and I am happy to show you some of them also in the future.

Teatime after a first renovation step: These two teabowls are very very delicate, so delicate that they seemed to have a light within – they are so translucient and fine. Handthrown porcelain at its very best, done with white porcelain from Limoges. To throw and trim so extremely fine is a work that needs all my experience of more than 20 years and a lot of concentration. And the feeling of drinking tea from them is unique and precious. #ceramics #porcelain #teabowl #pottery #tea #making #clay #simple #minimalism #modern #art #contemporaryart #glaze #fff #zurich #picoftheday #photo #style #zen #japan #korea #interiordesign #architecture #home #crafts #series #stilllife #perfection #details #design

One of the details in my ‘new’ house that I started to renovate: It is a very old building from 1589 and it is on the south side of Sitzerland. Some of the walls are black from the smoke of the open fires, I really love it! Two monks were living there more than four hundred years ago and next year it is me who will live and work there with my pottery, at least part time.

Done! All 68 teabowls are trimmed and in about four days they will be ready for the bisquit firing. It was quite a lot of throwing……I worked with four different stoneware clays and with a white and black porcelain: I am very very curious especially about the result from the black porcelain because it is the first time I am working with. Hope to show a perfect result here in about two weeks – fingers crossed! #ceramics #pottery #tea #making #clay #simple #minimalism #modern #art #contemporaryart #glaze #fff #zurich #picoftheday #photo #style #zen #japan #korea #interiordesign #architecture #home #homesweethome #potterhead #crafts #series #stilllife #perfection #details #design

Detail of the black plate: I made six plates, each with a different letter on it – all together show the word ‘breakfast’ in my swiss german language.
