Trip to the past and to my absolutely loved chicken: This lady now lives in Geneva at a collectors home. In 2002, I made a series of seven of these sculptures, all handmade and fired in an open fire – every chick has a completely different character. The dark smoke traces on their body came from the open firing. They are big, h 50 cm and very hard to make: A big body has to be fired like in an african ipen field fire and the body often cracked. Only a few of my work survived: I am still in love with them – one is mine. #ceramics #ceramic #porcelain #black #handmade #craft #elegant #zen #dark #handbuilt #pottery #zurich #switzerland #favourite #series #simple #minimalism #japan #geneva #exhibition #fineart #animal #smoke #clay #sculpture #chick Likes: [igp-likes]... 21 Januar, 2019
‚the future belongs to the few of us still willing to get our hands dirty‘ . In 2011, I made these vessels as a shape study, all are hand thrown in different clays and also fired in different ‚systems’. Later, I filled some of them with plants. I still love this picture from my exhibition that I had in 2012. Let‘s hope the saying will be true! #pottery #ceramics #craft #handmade #clay #earth #exhibition #plants #fire #smoke #zurich #switzerland #art #series #shape #simple #japan #love #vessel #vase Likes: [igp-likes]... 29 März, 2018
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 Likes: [igp-likes]... 14 März, 2018
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
….and with its big brother: A vase, also handbuilt and with smoke traces from the open fire. Well, this was a view back to past and I hope it was interesting – tomorrow I will show again present works. #beauty #ceramics #vase #memories #keramik #pottery #töpferei #clay #stoneware #making #handmade #stilllife #earth #keramik #art #handmade #schwarz #minimal #simple #perfect #contemporaryart #zurich #switzerland #architecture #style #series #smoke #steinzeug #japan #korea #craft Likes: [igp-likes]... 22 Januar, 2017
And another old work from the same series as on the picture before: Handbuilt and big (diameter about 30cm), a vase coated only with smoke traces from an open fire. Years ago I made a lot of handbuilt works, then I stopped. I am not sure why I did not go on…. but probably I will restart working with this technique that I liked much. #beauty #ceramics #vase #memories #keramik #pottery #töpferei #clay #stoneware #making #handmade #stilllife #earth #keramik #art #handmade #schwarz #minimal #simple #perfect #contemporaryart #zurich #switzerland #architecture #style #series #smoke #steinzeug #japan #korea #craft Likes: [igp-likes]... 21 Januar, 2017
