‚Work in progress‘ – the title of my current winter exhibition that will run until December 22nd. As you know, I am still working on some comissions but I am also working on new things as creating new glazes. Here a result of a new glaze that I tried out on two hand thrown bowls from dark red stoneware. My new glaze has a color between green and blue and brownblack with a matte finish: I am very happy with this surface and I will go on also with this one. Early in the year I made another one with a semi-matte blackblue finish that looks very elegant and magic at the same time. When I create new glazes I am always looking for a magical effect and not for a glaze with an uniform finish that could also be made – or maybe better – of an industrial color system. I am also looking for perfect closed surfaces, no needles mistakes on the pieces or something like that. Quite tricky to create your own glazes! #ceramics #bowl #glaze #clay #pottery #green #blue #black #makersgonnamake #helgaritschceramics #empty #contemporaryart #exhibition #new #workinprogress #zurich #switzerland #tokyo #experiment #magic #zen #minimalism #quiet

My beauties in India – here a white porcelain one with a golden thread for @ahistatea! I feel honored that a fine selection of my tea bowls in porcelain and stoneware are part of the ahistatea collection: Thank you @ahistatea it was a pleasure to work with you! #Repost @ahistatea ・・・ Our ceramic collection possesses an elevated status and revered for its connotations of simplicity and sophistication. Being a unique decorative element, many of our precious tea-bowls come adorned with a delicate golden thread in the foot – a sign of grandeur, prestige, and prosperity.

Like the sky or the ocean: These little beauties make me dream – another coffee cup impression. I love the rough blue stoneware clay together with my matt blue glaze. And the blue of the cups together with the dark brown from the blue mountain coffee match well Blue allover! I also made two sizes of these cups, medium size for a cappuccino and a smaller size for espresso. My father was born in Italy, he sure was an ‚influencer‘ for my coffee taste……The gems are available in my shop in Zurich and also in my online shop: shop.helga-ritsch.ch . And new: They are available at the concept store 90sqm in Zurich! I made about 80 coffee- and espressocups and throw them with three different clays: When I finished with one clay, it was a lot to clean before I could start with the next type. Being a potter is not the easy way……I am often suprised that so many seem to dream about it? #coffee #ceramics #espresso #blue #modern #minimalism #brand #colourful #tableware #craft #luxury #switzerland #zurich #zürich #pottery #matt #lifestyle #cup #exclusive #artoftheday #photooftheday #photo #bowl #cappuccino #tableware #zen #japan #korea #china #perfection #new

In spring I planted hydrangea in my garden and their color gave me inspiration for these glazes. I tried to achieve these colors for the coffeecups I planned to make for this winter season – here they are! I made two sizes and five different colors: lavendel, iceblue, springgreen, darkrose and white – the galzes are all matt on a speckled stoneware clay. Available in my shop in Zurich or via my online shop.helga-ritsch.ch . And: They are also available at the concept store 90sqm in Zurich. More information will follow! I am happy that all the 80 coffeecups came out of the kiln in a nice result, I was very curious about because I not often create glazes with colorpigments – I was relieved to see that the colors really are like the ones from my hydrangeas in my garden….. I am now working on my next project and I am throwing 61 porcelain bowls for the exhibition that will start December 1st. I have not a lot of time and I am working quite hard. Will show you more about in the next days – and tell you what I am doing with all these bowls….. #coffee #ceramics #espresso #pastel #modern #minimalism #brand #colourful #tableware #craft #luxury #switzerland #zurich #zürich #pottery #matt #lifestyle #cup #exclusive #artoftheday #photooftheday #photo #bowl #cappuccino #tableware #zen #japan #korea #china #perfection #new

Lots of teabowls, all handthrown, stoneware and coated with different celadon glazes. To make teabowls is like meditation for me. I need this because sometimes I am a restless and impatient person – at least my husband says so. I am not sure if he is right…..but anyway: The result are many teabowls.

Espresso cups, handthrown in porcelain – I covered the cups with a transparent and a red glaze and was curious what will happen during firing: That is the result. Regarding aesthetics, I am not yet sure if I like it or not – but I am certain: To drink my strong black coffee out of them is great!
