Work in progress: I showed you many of my teabowls in the past – here I am working on one of them. The shape is always delicate and very simple because I like such ‘minimal’ forms. Actually I have not a lot in my shop but I am working on it as you can see – so pls check my online shop in a few weeks to get one, if you like them. #tea #teacup #tableware #ceramics #stoneware #porcelaine #simple #making #photo #blackandwhite #switzerland #zurich #handmade #minimalism #simple #pottery #fff #zen #shape #form #piapourens #architecture #shadow #modern #clay #contemporaryart #picoftheday #perfect #japan #work Likes: [igp-likes]... 19 Mai, 2016

In the upcoming days I will go back to one of my passion and start with things around tea. It was not always a passion, around twenty years ago I had no idea that teabowls exist….but when I made my first one – as an exercise when I learnt to throw – I started reading uncountable books about tea, tea ceremony, teahouses etc. You might know that I was trained as an architect and philosopher before I started my days behind a potter wheel. So I love reading. I still do. These days I was reading ‚the buried giant‘ by Kazuo Ishiguro. A brilliant book with an unforgettable end….and with a very interesting main topic. Read it! On the photo: A tea bowl in stoneware, hand thrown and coated with an extraordinary black glaze that looks magic. This one is sold – but soon I have new ones available in my studio. Btw: I ship worldwide without any problems. #tea #ceramics #stoneware #black #tableware #keramik #teabowl #pottery #series #perfection #handmade #craft #glaze #making #simple #elegant #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #fashion #modern #japan #drink #concept #minimalism Likes: [igp-likes]... 19 November, 2018

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!

All the plates I showed in the post from yesterday are trimmed and I no give them four days to dry…. Normally I let the pieces dry for a week, but as you know, with these plates I am in a hurry. We have some sunny days in Zurich and I am sure four days will be enoughDuring the plates are drying I start with glazing the twenty big bowls I made. I glaze them all by hand: When I started my own studio – about fifeteen years ago – I worked with a lot of machines like a de-airing pugmill, spray booth etc. One year ago I sold all of them and started working more by hand. Now I only have a potter’s wheel and a kiln and my two hands – that is it. Say hello if you are interested in my ceramic work!

Flowerpower! Last Friday, Fred @banditbloggers visited my studio and took some great pictures, two of them I show in the current post: Some of my green and blue vases, wheel thrown im stoneware, with my gallery flowers. I love the vases and also the flowers – every Tuesday I buy some new ones on the market for my studio, for me and of course for all the people around. Everybody can see them because they are well placed in the middle of the showroom and also visible from the outside. Many people from the neighborhood tell me that they enjoy my flowers and vases every day. It is also beautiful for me to see them on the photos: Thank you very much, Fred – hope to see you soon for a drink!

And here the tea or coffee cups or bowls from the stoneware tableware collection I am producing since 2008: The whole collection is wheel thrown and consists of four different sizes of plates, three sizes of bowls, two sizes of mugs and two big bowls. The pieces are available in four different craquele glazes as seagreen, springgreen, iceblue and earthbrown and in additional in black – shiny or matt – and in matt white. Not all of the colors are always on stock, so I start to produce them after the order and then it takes about four weeks until they are ready for delivery. That is the way I am working for the tableware orders: Each piece is unique because it is wheel thrown by hand without using any forms. If you like this special charactere then we are a good team – say hello if you are interested in my ceramic work!

Plates from the stoneware tableware collection I am producing since 2008: The whole collection is wheel thrown and consists of four different sizes of plates, three sizes of bowls, two sizes of mugs and two big bowls. The pieces are available in four different craquele glazes as seagreen, springgreen, iceblue and earthbrown and in additional in black – shiny or matt – and in matt white. Not all of the colors are always on stock, so I start to produce them after the order and then it takes about four weeks until they are ready for delivery. That is the way I am working for the tableware orders: Each piece is unique because it is wheel thrown by hand without using any forms. If you like this special charactere then we are a good team – 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. Would be nice to meet you! #food #ceramics #plate #teabowl #tableware #keramik #restaurant #pottery #glaze #perfection #handmade #crafts #series #making #simple #elegant #contemporary #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #concept #delicious # japan #eat #finefood Likes: [igp-likes]... 04 Mai, 2017
Some new matcha tea bowls are out of the kiln and now in my shop in Zurich. I often drink matcha tea when I want to stop drinking too much coffee. I confess that I drink a lot of black coffee with sugar. Maybe because my father was an italian? Anyway, I love these matcha tea bowls with or without tea and: I am very happy with the combination of the black glaze and the dark red clay from spain. I was not at all sure if that would match. And I think it does.

The tea cup in porcelain seems a bit lost. Sometimes I feel a bit lost, too – especially when the renovation is not going on… this old house should become a studio and some exposition rooms but there are a lot of things to discuss because the house is under national protection. I made the plans now for the renovation and now I have to wait for permission – in the meantime I prepared a table with some modelling instruments and about hundred kilos of clay as visible on the third picture – so I can work on other ideas. #tea #architecture #porcelain #weekend #tableware #keramik #space #coffee #pottery #composition #exhibition #interiordesign #crafts #series #making #simple #holiday #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #renovation #photo #scene #picoftheday #japan #potter #minimal Likes: [igp-likes]... 01 Mai, 2017
Weekend at the South side of Switzerland: A wheel-thrown porcelain bowl in the kitchen and some impressions from the house I often stay – city escape? #tea #sunday #porcelain #weekend #tableware #keramik #space #coffee #pottery #composition #perfection #interiordesign #crafts #series #making #simple #holiday #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #architecture #photo #scene #picoftheday #japan #potter #minimal Likes: [igp-likes]... 30 April, 2017
Lost in space…..have a good weekend everybody! I am very very happy that this week is over: Now I am going to eat in a quiet restaurant and hope for delicious food and a good glass of white wine. #tea #ceramics #porcelain #dark #tableware #keramik #space #coffee #pottery #composition #perfection #handmade #crafts #series #making #simple #morning #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #food #photo #scene #picoftheday #japan #potter #minimal Likes: [igp-likes]... 28 April, 2017
Cups and plates in porcelain from the beautiful ! Wheel-thrown and coated with a transparent glaze that makes a wonderful and transluscent surface, very white and clean and delicate! I am not at all an early bird, but the idea that this kind of tableware is waiting for me makes me get up much more essier. Have a good day everybody! Here in Zurich ist is terribly cold and grey and I wish to be somewhere else where the sun is laughing: Who from you is living on the sunny side of the world?!? #tea #ceramics #porcelain #breakfast #tableware #keramik #delicate #coffee #pottery #composition #perfection #handmade #crafts #series #making #simple #morning #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #food #photo #scene #picoftheday #japan #potter #minimal Likes: [igp-likes]... 27 April, 2017
Another couple of the porcelain bowls, this time without plates: They are already in the ‘new’ old house I am renovating for another pottery studio and some exhibition rooms. During the renovation I often need some tea or coffee – and also the people with me – because in such a very old house you have a lot to discuss and think about the best solutions. There is still a lot to do there…..But it is graet to have such an opportunity! #coffee #ceramics #porcelain #fine #exhibition #keramik #delicate #tea #pottery #composition #perfection #handmade #crafts #series #making #simple #porcelain #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #scene #picoftheday #japan #light #potter #minimal Likes: [igp-likes]... 25 April, 2017

Today on Good Friday I found this pic from a handbuilt pot done by me with a golden cross done by a goldsmith: Throwback to a beautiful exhibition from years ago. I made seven pairs of quite big pots, a smaller one and a bigger, all handbuilt and fired in the open fire. The one you see here is done with a red clay and it shows black marks from the smoke. Unfortunately all of them were sold. Only he photos and memories remain…. #ceramics #bowls #fire #exhibition #keramik #goodfriday #red #pottery #smoke #perfection #handmade #craft #series #making #simple #black #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #cross #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #jewelry #installation #japan #gold #potter #minimal Likes: [igp-likes]... 14 April, 2017
New! I made some matcha teabowls, wheel thrown by hand with a dark red clay and coated with a blackbrown temmoku glaze. The glaze is just magical and also the form and volume is perfect for the matcha tea technique. During my time in Japan I drunk matcha tea quite often and of course I brought some with me for my home here in Zurich. #tea #ceramics #matchatea #bowls #exhibition #keramik #glaze #pottery #temmoku #perfection #handmade #craft #series #making #simple #black #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #teatime #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #concept #installation #japan #drink #potter #minimal Likes: [igp-likes]... 12 April, 2017
Done! Tomorrow Monday my first guest presents his project: Leopold Isidor Krebs – an artist and a landscape architecture student – shows his plants in pots I have thrown for this project. Leopold likes eating exotic fruits – and also loves plants. So he kept seeds from the fruits he ate and planted them to see if they would grow in rather cold Switzerland… And it is like a miracle: Ananas, Maracuja, Avocado and many more are growing in his nursery. Black stoneware and a simple cylindrical shape in various diameters and heights seem to provide a firm base and offer solid protection for these delicate plants. I am very happy to present this installation in my shop from April, 10 to May, 20 – come and have a look, it is simply beautiful! #green #ceramics #plants #pots #exhibition #keramik #spring #pottery #glaze #perfection #handmade #craft #series #making #simple #elegant #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #black #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #concept #installation #japan #drink #guest #minimal Likes: [igp-likes]... 09 April, 2017
