CATALOGUE

All my exclusive ceramics are hand made in my Zürich studio.
I have designed my current shape collection in 1996, and keep adding new designs
to create an enduring yet exciting range of pottery.
The glazes and colours are the result of thousands of tests and years of work,
and all pattern and decoration is individually hand painted or modelled by myself.

My shapes consist in stylised classic pottery forms. Decorative glazes like crackle, smoke,
matte or flambé on clean shapes lend a modern edge to the work.
Such glazes were popular in ancient China and the Far East,
but also enjoyed a great revival in the Art Deco movement.

In 2002 I have rediscovered the traditional Delft painting technique, which marked the beginning
of my potter's career in my grandparents studio, at the Ceramica San Rocco in Ascona.
It all started with the idea to cover my house with hand made painted tiles.
I had great fun creating whismical walls and floors, and when there was no surface left,
started to paint eclectic variations of pattern and text on my basic pottery shapes.
Now that my home is totally full, I started to fill the homes of others. Perhaps yours will be next?
