Swinging ceramics
Vibratory, full of movement and energy, varied in form and expression and without doubt always attributable to their creator are the vessels and objects of Frank Schillo. Likewise his ceramics for everyday use. All this is based on an orderly design principle with a clear canon of forms based on construction and statics. Monochrome surfaces, predominantly in matt white, black or grey, gently subordinate themselves to the form.

Frank Schillo's work focus 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.
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 "unique vessel" is associated with special, artistic vessels.
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.
