Summer! My Zurich based studio will be closed until August 24. During the upcoming weeks you will find me @helga_ritsch_moutainstudio where I will work – visits Friday 12-6 and by appointment. Pass by when you are nearby: I am looking forward to your visit. On the picture: Two vases, handthrown from stoneware and coated with a blu craquele glaze. I will present them – among other works – in my mountainstudio at Soazza, Grisons, Switzerland. #ceramics #ceramic #ceramicart #pottery #artist #artistlife #studio #atelier #vase #handmade #blu #stoneware #elegant #sunshine #summervibes #summertime #brilliant #excellence #masterpiece #exhibition #gallery #mountains #grisons #soazza #zurich #switzerland #craft #craftmanship #womenartists #flowers

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! More pictures of the summer studio you will find at my second account @we_are_ritsch . #ceramics #studio #studiolife #workshop #ceramicart #studioceramics #atelier #oldhouse #soazza #painting #collection #privatecollection #collector #contemporaryart #tea #teasalon #mountains #stonehouse #woodhouse #craft #helgaritschceramics #summerstudio #maker #architect #interiors #grisons

Sitting on a stone table at the South side of Switzerland where I also life and work. To have two different living and working places seems for me a privilege. It is calmer and wider in the mountains and sometimes I really like that. But at the end, my heart is beating for a city life and I would love to live in a big city. Still dreaming. #helgaritschceramics #me #portrait #scene #studio #blackandwhite #mountains #sitting #table #thinking #village #city #ceramics #ceramic #dreaming #thinkbig #artist #photography #photo #pictureoftheday

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! Actually, all my vessels are because of you! #ceramics #pottery #master #exhibition #maker #potter #germany #sad #unforgettable #vase #vessel #nature #art #artist #clay #mountains #switzerland #handcrafted #design #craft #craftmanship #claylife #minimalist #stilllife #minimalism #atisan

Some beakers, drying – they are hand thrown in a dark black stoneware clay. I made them – just for fun – some weeks ago when I get a new wheel for my very old studio. I am now renovating the old house: The beakers are stll there and are waiting for their firing but for that, I would need a kiln….. #ceramics #wood #studio #pottery #fire #winter #old #handmade #craft #beaker #tableware #mountains #artwork #projects #switzerland #zen #rural #zurich #clay #fun #style #interiordesign #home #smoke #japan #china #romantic #waiting

3 / Work 2008, handbuilt. The bigger vase on the right is 60cm high. I made a series of six different pairs. All sold. I am not only throwing but also working in other techniques. Throwing is all about repetition, you have to training a lot until you can do with the clay what you want – and not the clay tells you what it wants: So years ago I decided to focus on throwing for a while – took me ten years……And now I will restart with the other possibilities like f.e. hand building: Curious about my future.

Thursday evening in THE HOUSE: It is still cold and rainy so I was in the garden to pick some flowers for my vase – I am reading and waiting until the summer will come back….. The vase on the table is wheelthrown by hand in stoneware and coated with a white glaze. This vase is from a series of twenty I made in the past, I kept it for me.

3 Wednesday morning scene in THE ATELIER: It is quite cold and rainy in Switzerland so this morning I started with brewing matcha tea – still with the black porcelain cups…..but the green from the tea and the black from the porcelain is a great combination, isn’t it? I am still confused about the thermal shock between Italy and Switzerland: About twenty degrees difference in only four hours is heavy to endure for me. Today I would prepare all the theoretical things like checking material, sketches etc. for the upcoming exhibition in October in Hong Kong, the exhibition and collaboration in November with Regula Kilchsperger, ideas for a exhibition and collaboration in December with the concept store 90sqm in Zurich and quite a lot other projects… but first I will drink my matcha tea!

Done on time! I proudly present my new website: It gives an insight into my work and my places where I live and work at the moment. This post shows a scene from THE ATELIER in Soazza where I work when I am not in Zurich. The atelier is an old stonehouse from the 16th century and I am in love with it – the atmosphere is so stunning and I love to work there, in the mountains, on the south side of Switzerland. This is quite a big bowl, one from a series of twelve I did last year. The bowls are wheel thrown and coated with a black iron glaze. They have all more or less the same shapes, but two different shapes because I made six pairs….Since I have changed a lot in my life in the last three years, it took me a while to get everything together….but now it is done! Have a look at www.helga-ritsch.ch . Great thank @gion.andriu.artist for the photos: Because no one will make my works and spaces look better than he can. #ceramics #mountains #tea #pottery #stoneware #black #food #zen #design #art #crafts #contemporaryart #making #simple #interiordecoration #elegant #series #photography #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #shop #photooftheday #exhibition #interior #japan #picoftheday #scenery #homesweethome #poetry

Done on time! I proudly present my new website: It gives an insight into my work and my places where I live and work at the moment. This post shows a scene from THE ATELIER in Soazza where I when I am not in Zurich. The atelier is an old jouse from the 16th century and I am in love with it – the atmosphere is so stunning and I love to work there, in the mountains, on the south side of Switzerland. Here you can see a new series of bowls, wheel thrown and coated with a black glaze. After my holiday I will restart production….Since I have changed a lot in my life in the last three years, it took me a while to get everything together….but now it is done!

Happy Sunday in Switzerland – this is how my garden looks this morning, a cloudy spring day starts: No working today but time to go outside and enjoy the wind. Btw: Can you see the small ceramic angel? I bought it years ago – it was made by a handicaped girl who was so proud of her work, and right she was!
