The white cylinder

The theme of "vessel" artistically illuminated: Carolin Wachter's predominantly hand-turned, white porcelain objects have strictly sculptural and conceptual forms. Arranged in groups, they come together as installations in which the ivory-white ceramic forms come into contact with their surroundings and work within them. Fired at 1280 degrees and glazed transparent on the inside, they can also be used individually as vases or storage forms!
