Time seems to fly – it’s already been over two weeks since I invited for tea in the teahouse. What a wonderful weekend it was!

At home – Sunday afternoon mood: Stilllife from plant in a handthrown stoneware vessel, cups and a water jug.

When my daughter finds a tree….I have not a lot of time for ceramics at the moment because I am practicing every day for hours for a concert with our choir that takes place next Saturday and Sunday. I need a lot of concentration – my daughter shows me how to do it. Of course I am still working in the studio but for this week only in the afternoon. I love music and singing and it is a great time at the moment! Soon I will be back with new ceramic work here that I am making for my winter exhibition and that is a kind of a secret until Sunday, Dec 9 when the exhibition will open. #nature #sky #snow #dance #funny #photography #yoga #happyday #monteverita #tea #family #love #past #winter #travel #switzerland #zen #movement #yogalove #yogalife #dancelife #ballet #concentration Likes: [igp-likes]... 27 November, 2018

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 Likes: [igp-likes]... 04 April, 2018
‚the future belongs to the few of us still willing to get our hands dirty‘ . In 2011, I made these vessels as a shape study, all are hand thrown in different clays and also fired in different ‚systems’. Later, I filled some of them with plants. I still love this picture from my exhibition that I had in 2012.

Celebrating my stoneware teabowls: They already exist since 2001 when I made my first ones and – I think – they are still lovely! Bowls and teabowls are my favorite works to throw and I will start some new small series in the upcoming weeks: Already at my new studio. I am now working on some interesting orders and I will all have finished before I move my stuff.

At home 8: On a Saturday afternoon in February: A green plant in a blue bowl, teabowls and a teapot – the bowl is hand thrown in stoneware and coated with an iceblue craquele glaze. The teabowls are also hand thrown, but in white porcelain. My plant is now more or less ten years old, I bought it when it was very small and it grew up in the last years to this veritable ‚tree‘. During the last years, I changed more than once the apartment, the plant in the bowl came always with me. #plants #tea #ceramics #green #nature #blue #zen #design #art #crafts #contemporaryart #making #simple #loft #working #series #delicate #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #white #love #exhibition #masterpiece #japan #picoftheday #scenery #interior #architecture #home Likes: [igp-likes]... 03 Februar, 2018
At home 5: Lunch time in January: One of my favourite tea cups, hand thrown, porcelain, very white, not delicate, with the red thread and different grooves on the unglazed outside – I love this cup as much as I love my Wagenfeld lamp, a present from my husband for my lamp collection.

Only two simple white porcelain beakers, wheelthrown and with a golden thread – wedding present.

Be careful! Me- last week – with a fresh black porcelain bowl that has to dry now. One of the black ones: When they are trimmed they are very delicate and I have to ‚handle with care‘. This pic also shows one of these porcelain bowls – a medium size one – I am preparing for a design event here in Zurich, called ‚blickfang’. After thirteen-years break I will be part of it again this year: November 10, 11 and 12 at stage one in Zurich/Oerlikon.

It was such a beautiful light – I love to see the plates and cups and their white in the morning sun in my rural studio: this is a part from my porcelain tableware for breakfast, each piece is wheelthrown with limoges porcelain and a little bit different. So I have my favourites and I am happy when my love has another favourite – so we have no trouble in the early morning hours when we drink our coffees and eat our croissants!

Normally my morning scene looks like in the current post: Our old kitchen table, some flowers, the one at the wall who always controls my coffee amount….and one of my wheel thrown coffeecups with the copper stuff around. But now I am in Paris with my husband – today we are married for more than 20 years (we then stopped counting the years) and we are drinking coffee in the hotel: Unfortunately, no wheelthrown cups at all…..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, normally… at the moment I take some free days in Paris and I will be back June 1st – or, if you are not around, write me a message or check my website. #foodphotography #ceramics #coffee #green #tableware #keramik #composition #pottery #scene #perfection #styling #crafts #series #making #marriied #flowers #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #concept #exhibition #japan #love #photoshooting Likes: [igp-likes]... 30 Mai, 2017

Matcha tea bowl on a Monday evening: Waiting for the green powder. I love matcha tea and whenever I find time, I drink it in the late afternoon, it is one of the best accompaniment for me and a constant value like my black coffee in the morning.

A teabowl couple in porcelain, a wedding present: Also these two beautiful bowls have a very white and special outside, whitout any glaze. But I polished them several times so they get a kind of smouth, a soft powder finish, very tactile and tender. The bowls are both wheelthrown and high fired so they are hard and translucent. And to show that they are made by me, I gave them my red thread. I wish the wedding couple all the best for a long love! Say hello if you are interested in my ceramic work!

Love this place where I live and work when I am not in Zurich and I already wrote about before: It is a beautiful small village in the South of Switzerland, and there is the old house I am renovating. Actually it is impossible to work there at the moment because – as you can see on the photo – winter arrived, so it is cold in the house because there is no heating. I am working on it until the next winter…..But for photoshootings it is a very good place also in winter – some of the photos I posted recently have been taken there. It is a very quiet and romantic space surrounded by wonderful landscape and very nice people live in the village. There they do not speak German but Italian – and it brings back some memories from my childhood because my father was born in Italy. He died when I was in my twenties and he unfortunately never saw my pottery development. Well, when you travel through Switzerland you maybe stop by – the village is called Soazza and it is near Bellinzona. Does anyone of you know it? #love #landscape #nature #holiday #photo #snow #night #landschaft #dorf #village #winter #beautiful #art #romantik #schnee #töpferei #keramik #mesocco #misox #mesolcina #bellinzona #zurich #switzerland #architecture #style #winterland #handwerk #grisons #graubünden #craft Likes: [igp-likes]... 15 Januar, 2017
