Series with a difference

Traces of mud, turning grooves, dents, dings, finger marks: Armin Skirde attaches importance to such small irregularities in each of his pieces and thus reinterprets the concept of the ceramic series. Aesthetics in form and surface and a high degree of functionality characterise his utilitarian ceramics in a matt earthy colour. The outline-like line fragments on the surface, skilfully executed with a loose hand, are unmistakable.

Armin Skirde's main areas of work well explained:

Recommended

Glaze

Glaze is a glass-like layer which, from a purely functional point of view, is mainly used to provide the porous shards underneath (term for a fired ceramic mass) with a waterproof, dense coating.

Wood Stove Fire

In fossil fuel furnaces fired with oil, gas, wood, coal or coke, the fire occurs in an open flame and reducing atmosphere.

Electric kiln

Thanks to its modern technology, the electrically powered kiln is a relatively safe firing method that can be used to fire at high temperatures.

Stoneware

Designation for ceramics which, with or without glaze after the firing process above 1200° C, has a hard, solid and dense body (term for a fired ceramic mass).

Utility ceramics

The term "utility ceramics" is used in the context of the "International Ceramics Days Oldenburg" to refer to handmade ceramics which, no matter what form they take, are primarily geared to function.
