Handmade and hand-turned ceramics.
Self-developed, food-safe ash and feldspar glazes.

- Each piece I pot individually on the potter’s wheel and thus each piece is unique.
- I pot with the Australian porcelain mass “Southern Ice” and fine chamotte Westerwald stoneware clay.
- All my tableware is glazed with self-developed food-safe glazes – with emphasis on “ash glazes”.
- In ash glazes, the main ingredient in the glaze backfill is ash from burned wood.
- Right now I have privet and laburnum ash included in my offsets.
- My work is all dishwasher and microwave safe.
- My porcelain and stoneware works are tight because I fire at 1280°C – 1300°C in electric and gas kilns.
- Ideas, design, planning and execution are mine.
- My pottery is so delicate and fine that the body is translucent against the light.
- This turns functional contemporary design into beautiful special everyday tableware.
