Monday morning mood: Two simple white and translucent tea bowls in porcelain, they are waiting for the morning tea in the studio. I have a short way to take from my house to the studio and first thing I do there is making hot water for tea. Then I decide how to start. My ‚mountain‘ studio is not as organized as the one in Zurich, it is completely different here. I am working here in a very old house from the 16th century, it is a darker house, quiet and with views on mountains and small streets. It is interesting how the environment influences my mood and my work. Hope you can get that feeling through the picture? The photo is taken – as quite all photos on my feed btw – by my husband: Thank you @gion.andriu.artist , once again for your support – I know you do not want to be mentioned but I am not always obidient….. #tea #ceramics #pottery #porcelain #tealover #tableware #handmade #craft #morning #autumn #scene #zen #zurich #switzerland #drink #luxury #style #clay #iron #korea #china #interiordesign #homedecor #inspiration #poetry #dark #photooftheday #perfection

After a long day: Another evening in spring that could be 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! The tea bowl is mine. #tea #teatime #black #teapot #iron #ceramics #ceramic #pottery #spring #brown #makersgonnamake #handmade #porcelain #studio #workshop #elegant #evening #zen #style #interiordesign #architecture #zurich #switzerland #japan #korea #set

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

Tbt when I finished my five years training period as a potter, I made three types of final work: First, a hand-thrown tableware collection in stoneware with five different craquele celadon glazes that I created consisting of three sizes of plates, three sizes of cups and two types of bowls, second, an installation with fifty-five mold porcelain vessels and each piece individual grooved on the wheel and third the object that you see on the pictures one to three: It is an abacus, all pieces are hand thrown in stoneware and coated with a red iron glaze. My brother made the iron frame – the installation is now in my garden in the South part of Switzerland. After all this I was entitled to say: I am a ceramist with an academical background in architecture and philosophy. I finished my academic studies in 1995 and my five year apprenticeship as a potter in 2006. #ceramics #pottery #abacus #way #art #artwork #red #clay #iron #zurich #switzerland #japan #zen #handmade #project #architecture #philosophy

Still cold here in Zuruch and this is a bit difficult for me – the sky is grey, my bowls are black: Wheelthrown in stoneware, coated wirh a black iron glaze who seems to have different blacks in it, depending from the light. Magical and I love them! They are also in the new exhibition room, together with the ones I showed you in the last post. Hope you like them, too. #beauty #ceramics #bowl #exhibition #keramik #pottery #töpferei #clay #stoneware #making #handmade #stilllife #glaze #keramik #art #kunst #iron #minimal #simple #perfect #contemporaryart #zurich #switzerland #series #style #winter #black #steinzeug #japan #korea #craft

A jug and its cups – handthrown with a simple form in stoneware and coated with a visually complex iron glaze. I use this set for water, but you may fill in whatever you want. Every cup has its own character, more or less its own shape and glaze differences – very quiet, not at all dramatic pieces but I like them exactly for this. #ceramics #water #tea #iron #black #red #glaze #tableware #making #handmade #stilllife #clay #photooftheday #shape #form #fff #minimal #simple #perfect #pottery #zurich #switzerland #architecture #style #interior #picoftheday #kitchen #drinks #coffee #cup
