Caroline Timm's areas of focus, clearly 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 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).
In the context of the „Internationalen Keramiktage Oldenburg“ , the term "sculpture/object" refers to ceramics that are not subject to any function.
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.
