Lynn Schoonbroodt's main areas of work well explained:
Shino refers to a genre of ceramics that originated in Japan in the 16th century and is still highly prized today for its tactile and visual qualities.
Seladon refers to grey-green to blue-green thickly applied feldspar glazes whose special colouring comes from iron oxide.
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.
In fossil fuel furnaces fired with oil, gas, wood, coal or coke, the fire occurs in an open flame and reducing atmosphere.
Thanks to its modern technology, the electrically powered kiln is a relatively safe firing method that can be used to fire at high temperatures.
In the context of the „Internationalen Keramiktage Oldenburg“ , the term "unique vessel" is associated with special, artistic vessels.
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.
