Like our ancestors, who for more than 10,000 years, made parts for utility use, these experiences seem to have a place in our genes …
Due to the aesthetic sense, the works have won beauty and rigor in the decoration. One can not speak, these early creations on the subject of art. That is, with all the human and spiritual force that an object may contain (and this perspective is in the eye of whom see), we can, yes, talking in a religious sense of worship or that it will take strong action in rituals and religious ceremonies later .

Yet it is inevitable to recall the clay-stained hands, the smell “sue generis, the work sometimes crudely conceived, gesture, imagination. It is something that accompanied us on our collective individuality.

Pottery is a living art of difficult techniques, experimentation and risk the adventure. It is a passion full of mysteries and constant discoveries. A maze that leads to the inevitable fire.

The art of pottery in my opinion has two states indis-sociable (?). Thought while modeling, which is the most direct result of our action, drying and cooking; are the result of the passage to life, through the fire. The decoration works in ceramic body as a rich robe, sometimes florid, landscape, human or allegorical motifs. For nearly 10 years, I discovered ceramics and she felt an inevitable passion, I can guarantee that forever changed my vision to see and feel the world.

The actors wear masks and movements, very slow, are extremely refined, in contrast to the wealth and richness of the costumes.

Fire of Life.

The ceramic artist living in Corinthian Gerhard Shackler-Nagy claimed that “the ceramic fire of life – for themselves.” For him and with him she has developed as a human being and art creators. At the very beginning with a sound education that enables her to this day, just go with a lot of know-how to these limits of experience. Still to go a bit further, even to venture a bit more in the shape and color of their fragile and yet so strong ceramic structure.

Transformation

In the metamorphosis Shackler also sees their personal path. At the beginning of her artistic career was the attempt to control the fire. So they developed in house a large number of furnaces for different applications. In labor talks and seminars, they were on their knowledge and set out again, finally free to look out for new shores. She found the act of creation, the design of forms with “Earth,” as she calls her affectionately plant material. Your self materializes in tone, a very sense – and body-work.

Take a breath

A situation that forces them also, after the successful large-scale projects “ants go line by line” and “pomegranate” to become “empty” to draw breath and to escape from what’s happening all around. By the element fire, which she has tamed her energy developed through to the fire of life, vitality, particularly the revitalization of positive emotions of children with problems. In collaboration with the University of Freeburg, the art object artist devoted the last few years, the Gestalt work – while it tries to avoid the word, she sees herself as a companion.

Artists and amateurs learn
“The way a ceramist leads over a mountain full of broken glass,” Horst Kothgasser, teacher describes Bundesrealgymnasium Vectoring Art Education with a focus on the development of each individual who wants to dedicate the work with sound. The interest from artists and interested lay one hand on the other hand, involved in the creative sector was to be a cause in 1997 the Association “ELSA” at the school to set up. In addition to scientific cultural workshops and seminars were offered – this was also the ceramic Viktringer summer.

Furnace & own gallery
Initially 60 participants learned from building the sound up to the furnace of fire and much of what part of the trade. In 2004, the number of participants has doubled. “The aim of the association is to promote the ceramic figures in all areas. Since there is no focus gallery of Carinthia, decided to create the association, which now counts 29 members, its own presentation space for the modern ceramics. In the gallery “character” in Klagenfurt are the products of the ELSA ceramist, next to those seen by freelance artists such as Erika Novak, utility and commercial sectors in congenial coexistence.

Ceramic is life
“Ceramic is not a hobby, but you live it,” admits the professor, the secret: the fascination of working with this natural material. The path from idea to finished piece is a long, mastery of material and a slow fire, accompanied by many failures, the sound penetrates even through the pores into the body – the result remains fragile. To master all of these steps easier to search the many community-minded. In ELSA, there is no secret workshops. Each can be obtained at the successes but also at the mishap, the questions and grow the knowledge of others, can Kothgasser the objective of the independence of his “apprentices” not out of sight.

Art & Craft
There are rumors that the works of the Artists “applied” art judge from above – a prejudice that has for the research for this article is not true. On the contrary, Gerhard Tschachler For example, admired the discipline and consistency of Gebrauchskeramikern. Roland Summer refers to the tradition in England, where the industry enjoys the “potter” (pottery) a much higher status. The difference of utility and art ceramics explains the use Feldkirchner ceramicist Karin Zelloth-Klimbacher way: “I create ceramic, which is to be used for different purposes. Ceramics is art if it has no specific use. “For three years she has shared with her mother, the ceramicist Ruth Klimbacher decorative household ceramics, is represented on every pottery and handicraft market. Not an easy business, even though Ruth Klimbacher for decades for its humorous raven, sad clowns and cozy cat is known. The daughter likes to work large, and will specialize in lighting objects and facade design. Second place in the pottery market in Klagenfurt it has confirmed in their work on light objects. Even with school projects, it is with children and young people always return to their twenty years of experience. Recently at the school in Feldkirchen, where she has implemented several major lighthouses. A hallmark of Karin Zelloth-Klimbacher are the visible influences of Indian and Celtic cultures, which they attract magical. What is the broadcasting of foreign cultures for the one-for Renate Trotting Lunching the color. “Living with colors is my major issue,” says the ceramicist who operates her studio in Marburg. Her large windows are always attraction in mixed exhibitions, most recently in Wulfenite. She became famous through their magnificent stoves, which they designed for 20 years.

Arts & Crafts Art versus

Summer sees the causes of Valdes artists in a better separation of Applied Art College and School of Visual Arts. There are no specialized in Austria on ceramic art gallery. thin line is also an interest in this study and later pursue the art direction, the artist draws the sad job in Austria. Even he is mainly from abroad and has foreign collectors and buyers. The contacts has Summer, who has found from studying architecture to ceramics built up, in fifteen years of hard and consistent work. His technique of working with Terra Sibilate meant long and arduous development work, but today he is so in demand internationally.

Art requires patience

The first impression when meeting with the sculptural vessels is characterized by the simplicity of the forms and the elegant shine of the polished surface. Difficult but never bulky they stand on their pedestals, and surprise the viewer with a journey into another time, citations can be of historical cultures to life. The reason for this addition to the traditional structure is the vessels including the technique of “Lost Glaze”. The meeting of the blown-up drawing of the soft glaze on the one hand and the other by drawing the desired Summers scoring that will be visible after the fire, generate excitement and demand the correspondence with the object out formally.

How to collect art collector’s object containers, he joins a prize after the other in his biography in 1989 it began with the recognition of the art Austria, continued with the Swiss Prix de la Ville de Carouse, the Theodora Corner Prize of up to 1 Place at Dissenter Ceramic Award 2004 – just to name a few. Most of all the potters sold but in his workshop gallery “Terra S” in Valdes directly to its buyers.

Passion and love

Each issue carries a high cost: transportation, insurance and of course commissions to the exhibitor. The fire, the elemental force, without the ceramic work is not possible, plays well into the private life of Roland Summer. He lives with the equally successful ceramic artist Christina meadow under one roof. The workshops, however, are separated. And their art could not be more different. Christina Wiese met, what her poetic name promises: their findings that there were stones in heart shape, shards of glass or porcelain, or love poems, as in her current series – all marked by a loving hand, so you immediately VEER looks like It is so beautiful in Corinthian. The ceramic form is Wiese’s always the protecting, preserving or even presenting case for a gem from another time. Whether or tower box, frame or simple presentation area, a sensitivity to history therefore has a special room.

The invention of pottery took place
during the revolution Neolithic, when containers were needed store surplus crops
produced by practice of agriculture. At first this ceramic modeled by hand,
using techniques such as ‘bite’, the ‘Columbus’ or "plaque" (hence the
irregularities of its surface), and only allowed to dry in the sun in hot
countries and around tribal fires in cold areas. More later began to be
decorated with geometric motifs through incisions in dried pasta. Its growing
complex, perfect and beautiful development determined emergence of a new
profession: the potter.

The peoples of the current era that
began the development of ceramic cooking techniques and sophisticated parts
furnaces were Chinese. From China passed knowledge to Korea and Japan in the
East, and to the West, Persia and North Africa to reach the Spanish peninsula.
Throughout this journey, the techniques were varied. This was due to several
variants of them is that the clays were different. In China is used, above all,
china and sandstone, while in the West these clays were not. Other variants was
influence of Islam and their visions of the decoration, and different ways were
used for cooking.

The invention lathe, and in times of
metals came to improve their machining and finishing, as well as their cooking
oven made stronger and expanded its range of colors and textures. In principle,
it was only around a wheel affixed to a shaft that was rotated by a stick
inserted into a hole which whirled up achieve enough speed to produce the piece.
Little by little change until today, when the artisan is sitting on a bench and
turns the wheel through foot movement which gives an upper wheel more or less
speed as needed.

Often ceramics has served
archaeologists for dating deposits and even some types of pottery have been name
to prehistoric cultures. One of the first examples of prehistoric pottery is
called cardiac. It occurred in the Neolithic period, owing its name to which it
was decorated with incisions made with the shell cardium edule, a kind of
cockle. Bell Ceramics, Beaker or is characteristic of the age of metals and,
more specifically, Chalcolithic, like The pottery Argar (Argaric) is from the
Age of Bronze.

The Greek potters worked pottery
influenced by civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia. Created containers with
beautiful forms of drawings covering recounted the life and customs of his time.
Aesthetics Greek was inherited from ancient Rome and Byzantium, the spread to
the Far East. Then joined the arts of Islam from the Chinese potters learned the
use of the beautiful cobalt blue.

From North Africa entered the art of
ceramics in Iberian Peninsula, leading to the creation of china Hispanic Moorish
majolica ceramics precedent with metallic glazes of Persian influence, and
compiled by first time in Europe in Mallorca (Spain), introduced then with great
success in Sicily and Italy, where lost Islamic influence and Europeanized.

There are countless types of clay available. Some are used
for making tiles, bricks, pipes, plant pots etc, others for making floors,
tiles, objects, etc., others call for white crockery used mostly in bathrooms,
sinks, toilets, etc. and other ceramics for the call art – craft – utensils,
decorative objects, sculptures etc.

The clay exists in the earth surface. Some types are found
in the open and others in underground mines.

The nature of clay when removed bodies usually contains
undesirable impurities, and therefore needs to be benefited by mechanical and
chemical processes. If appropriate may be added or removed elements from his
composition for specific uses and regulate plasticity.

The studio has a proposal that goes beyond marketing work
done on it, also offers everyone who is interested in art, the opportunity to
learn new farming techniques and also the understanding of ceramics.

The Pottery Studio is the realization of a dream and that
dream was finally realized at the beginning of 2007 with the creation of
Ceramic Design Studio.

The studio has ample space and a harmonious environment
with resources to work their creativity with ceramics.

The Studio also has equipment such as lathe, plaqueira,
extruders and various tools, and many of these tools are produced in the
studio.
