Two worlds

In Dorothee Wenz's world there are, on the one hand, delicate, colorful, opulent vessels and, on the other, earthy hybrid creatures that reflect human characters and inner attitudes. The large vessels are not turned, but built up by hand from different colored clay. After firing and an elaborate grinding process, the surfaces surprise with their velvety softness and smoothness. The hybrid creatures develop their characters during the creative process of creation. Their enthusiasm for expression and design is infectious. Their imagination is fantastic.
