I am happy to give you a glimpse into my summer studio where I will be working in July and August. I will be there from July 18 to August 15 and you can visit me on Fridays 12-6 and any time by appointment. Please note that during this period my Zurich based studio is open only by appointment. I will work in the same way as in Zurich, but I plan some small events in addition like a ‚tea salon‘ with my friend @natasha.vaidya on a Saturday in July or August. My summer studio is a very old house from the 16th century with its own character and it is only basically renovated. I will present my own work – also as a work in progress because I am working there at the wheel and every week the setting will change – and my small private art collection with some wonderful iron works from my friend @motomu_oyama and small paintings f.e. from @gabriele_herzog or a big cartoon series from P.R. and others. I am still planning my summer weeks in the studio. Of course I will offer tea and coffee in my own cups and you can visit my four rooms full of books, ceramics, painting, photos. I will be there with a lot of time especially on Fridays. My summer studio is in Soazza, a small and beautiful village in Switzerland, near Bellinzona and you could enjoy a nice day there. Hope to see many of you!

Me in Tokyo – for the new followers from the last month, thank you! My short CV and an ‚artist statement‘ to answer to your questions about my background – at least some of the questions, the easy ones about dates and education: The main focus of my work in porcelain and stoneware is the visual search for simplicity, serenity and beauty. Before I started my five years education as a ceramic artist, I built an academic background in Architecture, Art History and Philosophy and made then the bridge to craft. I am a quality worker not a quantity one: My work needs its time, sometimes a lot. CV: Born in Switzerland – but without a Swiss passport. I started my work as an independent ceramic artist in 1998 without a wheel. 2001-2006: Apprenticeship for ceramist with Master ceramist Mathies Schwarze, Germany. Wheel throwing. 1989-1995: Course of studies at the University of Zurich . Art History/German Philology/Philosophy (today M.A.) 1987-1989: Cours of studies at ETH Zurich .

I am deeply sad. Ceramist master Mathies Schwarze died a few days ago. Hard to accept. He was my master for five years and I learnt so much from him. The picture of the vases is from one of his exhibitions in Switzerland. Take care Marhies!

May I introduce? My best work so far: Edition masterpiece, 2015. A tea bowl, handthrown in white porcelain. I was absolutely in love with it. Unfortumately, two years ago, this bowl was sold when I was not in my studio: It was a mistake because I never wanted to sold it. I am still sad when I think about. At least I have this picture: I normally have no problems to let go my work but this bowl was so special for me, I worked for hours on all the lines and I went to my limits and also to the limit of the material – some parts were so thin and they were not broken during the firing. It was like a miracle for me….. #artwork #white #ceramics #simplicity #modern #minimalism #artist #masterpiece #porcelain #craft #luxury #switzerland #zurich #cotton #pottery #maker #fineart #exhibition #art #artoftheday #light #photo #bowl #elegant #handmade #zen #japan #korea #perfection #helgaritschceramics Likes: [igp-likes]... 19 Dezember, 2018

Celebrating the current exhibition ‚ginger for you’: The bowls. I made fifteen different bowls in size and shape for the filigran ginger plants that Leopold let grew during the last weeks in his student apartment. And now they are all in my studio. The black stoneware bowls match perfect with the green of the plants – come and have a look if you are around! The installation is in my shop window until September 1st. The bowls are all hand thrown, stoneware and coated with a magical new black glaze that I created especially for this project. Collection ‚Masterpieces’, 2018.

A few words on my schedule. But first: Porcelain beakers, hand thrown and inside coated with a transprent glaze. On Monday, I will start with a new series of them, some are going to Los Angeles, others are for a friend in Zurich. When the white beakers will be in the kiln, I will go back to black porcelain, also for a client in Los Angeles and for another in New York. I will then make some blue vessels for a collector here in Zurich, one of my first collectors. He is an art historian and he already has a beautiful collection of my work from the last fifeteen years. Then I will start with stoneware, going on with a quite big order for a restaurant and also for a private houshold and some smaller thing for a wedding, and then back to black porcelain for a big order for another private houshold. What I wanted to say, is: I am really very sorry but I am not able to take over more orders before October. I am working alone in my studio and do not want to change this. So my capacity is limited. And I need enough time for my work, so please understand that at the moment I am not able to work wirhin three or four weeks for an individual commission. And: It would be great if we could discuss your wishes now for f.e. to realize them until autumn – then I could block my time for your project. Of course I always have some work on stock, so please feel free to pass by at my shop in Zurich! Have a happy weekend everybody! #ceramics #ceramic #porcelain #white #zen #simple #handmade #makersgonnamake #maker #elegant #collection #collector #restaurant #drink #fineart #photography #picture #zurich #switzerland #losangeles #newyork #house #japan #minimalism #pure #simplicity #weekend Likes: [igp-likes]... 04 Mai, 2018

Another hundred for a restaurant – I have to finish them with different glazes and then they will take over the place in the kiln….Sunday evening is their time. All these coffee cups are hand thrown in different stoneware clays. Sometimes people ask if my work is suitable for the dishwasher: Yes, of course! When I was a student, I was working in restaurants and I know that this is an important point – sometimes, the life in the kitchens is quite stressful and it is not possible to wash the dishes by hand. And it is also less hygienic. #ceramics #restaurant #cup #ceramic #pottery #coffee #tea #zurich #switzerland #drink #food #handmade #maker #art #craft #photooftheday #espresso #italy #singapore #shopping #studio #atelier #kitchen #design #interiordesign Likes: [igp-likes]... 05 April, 2018
