Working with the color blue was always a topic of my work: In 2007, I made some groups of vases from stoneware, hand thrown and coated with my blue cristal glaze that I created in 2006. #ceramics #vase #exhibition #handmade #pottery #blue #minimalism #empty #monday #zurich #contemporaryart #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics Likes: [igp-likes]... 11 Februar, 2019
In January, I started with a review on my work, with some ups and downs in my studio and private life and at the end all is going on as on that picture: Quiet moment in my Zurich based workshop, Saturday night feeling, pensive. I started on IG three years ago because of a radical change in my business life. I had no idea how many people will follow my pictures and ideas here on this open platform. There were a lot of wonderful moments here during the last three years – and some difficult ones with people who knows no respect, no limits, no honesty. Interesting to realise. #ceramics #tea #exhibition #handmade #pottery #blue #minimalism #empty #monday #zurich #contemporaryart #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics Likes: [igp-likes]... 03 Februar, 2019
Friday evening and finally the end of a strange week: I try to relax with this white porcelain tea set – a classical work with the red thread. My work is available in my studio that is open for public Wed – Fri 12-5 and Sat 11-2. This opening hours are valid until the end if February, I then close my studio for six weeks because of my exhibition in Tokyo and my travel through Japan. Enjoy you weekend and the last days before x-mas….. #ceramics #tea #exhibition #handmade #pottery #white #minimalism #empty #monday #zurich #contemporaryart #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics Likes: [igp-likes]... 14 Dezember, 2018
Poetry in clay, two. Monday morning scene. I had some weeks behind me with a lot of ups and downs and it was hard to finish some work in time for my current winter exhibition: So I am happy that I could at least present some new bowls and new tea sets, here one of them from blue porcelain with an orange thread. I love this strong color combinatio, no idea why. My new studio is wonderful warm but this was an unexpected problem for some porcelain pieces and I lost a whole commission ‚black beauties’ for seven people with more than 50 plates and bowls. I started again, yes: Frustrated. I am still working on it and I hope that this time it will work. #ceramics #tea #exhibition #handmade #pottery #blue #minimalism #empty #monday #zurich #contemporaryart #switzerland #zen #artist #unique #clay #magic #poetry #tokyo #craft #japan #korea #helgaritschceramics Likes: [igp-likes]... 10 Dezember, 2018
A pair of quite big and simple vases, hand thrown – they are now in their last firing. I made them with a black stoneware clay that I used for the first time and I am very curious how the result will be. This time, I was too lazy to make a sample with the glaze on it, so also this will be a surprise for me: How will the glaze react with the clay? Tomorrow I will know it… #ceramic #ceramics #pottery #vase #black #flowers #surprise #lazy #simple #minimalism #elegant #pair #clay #home #interiordesign #zurich #switzerland #monday #handmade #craft #photography #makersgonnamake #japan #singapore Likes: [igp-likes]... 16 April, 2018

Teabowl in porcelain, one of a series of twelve: I love the white and special outside of this bowl, whitout any glaze but I polished it several times so it gets a kind of smouth, a soft powder finish, very tactile. The bowl is wheelthrown and high fired so it is hard and translucent. Hope you like it as I do. 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 or check my website. My new online store with teabowls only will be coming soon! #tea #ceramics #white #porcelain #tableware #keramik #white #pottery #glaze #perfection #handmade #crafts #series #making #simple #elegant #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photooftheday #concept #exhibition #japan #drink #picoftheday #monday Likes: [igp-likes]... 15 Mai, 2017
Mondayafternoon – a coffee in my handthrown black cup is always with me when I have to work in my office. So administration works is a bit sweeter, also to pay all the bills…. #ceramics #coffee #coffeetime #cappuccino #cup #bowl #stoneware #black #stilllife #monday #mondaymotivation #red #wagenfeldlampe #office #art #contemporaryart #design #zen #simple #fff #drink #tableware #zurich #switzerland #picoftheday #photooftheday #making #clay #handmade #kitchen Likes: [igp-likes]... 29 August, 2016
