DESIGN & CRAFTS COLLECTION 2012: Franziska Schmid-Burgk nominated
Two bowls. Dark clay, blue glaze on the inside, Ø 16 cm.
Hand-building all of her vessels, Franziska Schmid-Burgk gradually develops their shapes during the working process. Her smoke-fired vases are glazed on the inside, whereas the dark clay’s outside features a light-colored engobe. After the glazes have been fired in the kiln, the vases are smoke-fired in an open barrel, something which results in appealing textures with an archaic touch. The glazes’ subdued colors and the material’s rawness perfectly reflect the clay’s organic character. In addition to creating engobe pieces, Franziska Schmid-Burgk also crafts cups with clear-cut designs as well as double-walled bowls from white or dark clay, some of them glazed on the inside in delicate shades of blue. Franziska Schmid-Burgk recently has been nominated for the DESIGN & CRAFTS COLLECTION 2012.
Group of vases. Black clay, glazed on the inside and smoke-fired. Height: 23–36 cm.
Three vessels. White clay, glazed on the inside, up to 12 cm high.
