Hundreds of individual parts determine Beate Pfefferkorn's everyday life: formed by hand from porcelain - rolled, pressed, punched, cast - they line up to form decorative compositions. Worn on the neck, hand or ear, the many arranged, unglazed porcelain pieces create a rhythmic coexistence and a true piece of jewellery. The wealth of colours makes Pfefferkorn's necklaces, earrings or bracelets absolute eye-catchers.

Beate Pfefferkorn's main areas of work well explained:
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.
Engobe refers to a mixture of finely slurried clay liquefied with water, which is applied to raw or also bisqued ceramic workpieces for decoration.
Thanks to its modern technology, the electrically powered kiln is a relatively safe firing method that can be used to fire at high temperatures.
Designation for a ceramic material made of feldspar, kaolin and quartz, with dense, light-coloured to white shards (term for a fired ceramic mass)
In the context of the „Internationalen Keramiktage Oldenburg“ , the term "sculpture/object" refers to ceramics that are not subject to any function.
