Antje Brüggemann

1941

Working as a ceramist since many years, there were 3 main themes:

The thrown vessel, the built vessel and the free work as reliefs or stillifes. During the last years I mostly work at built vessels with shape and surface forming a unity.

The surfaces of the vessels are covered like a screen with plains of coloured only partly glazed clays that cause optical deceptions.

My material is stone ware ,fired in reduction at 1300°C in a gas kiln.
