ABOUT
tina is a german creative who had been living in paris and working as an architect and designer for 15 years.
missing the manual aspect in her creative work, she got interested in pottery and started making ceramics in paris.
working on a smaller scale allows her to create and accomplish objects herself.
after moving to kyoto in japan in 2018, she entirely dedicated herself to pottery.
living close to nature profoundly inspired her and influenced her work.
kyoto's rich culture and nature, its hundreds of temples and gardens are an endless inspiration that expresses in the forms, textures and colours of her work.
back in paris in 2021, she started her ceramic workshop and since is working on ceramic collections of tableware and ceramic art pieces.
the use of different clay colours and textures and the use of a range of natural white glazes characterise her work.
various collaborations with restaurants in 2021 allowed her to get deeper insight into the kitchens of the new avantgarde of young and creative chefs and their needs.
freshly settled in milan, italy, tina just recently opened her new ceramic workshop.
ドイツ人クリエーターのティナは、パリで十五年に渡り建築家やデザイナーとして活躍してきた。
クリエイティブな仕事に従事しつつも、手仕事への懐かしさから陶芸に興味を持ち、パリで陶器作りを始めた。
形成から完成までを一人でこなせる、小ぶりな作品を手がけている。
2018年の京都移住を機に、本格的に陶芸に取組みはじめた。
自然に囲まれた生活は彼女に深いインスピレーションを与え、作風にも影響を及ぼしている。京都の豊かな文化と自然、多くの寺院や庭園は尽きることない創作源となり、作品の形や質感、色の中に現れている。
2021に年パリへ戻るとアトリエを構え、以来テーブルウェアのシリーズやセラミックアートを制作している。色味や質感の異なる粘度、ナチュラルホワイトの釉薬の使い分けが彼女の持ち味である。
