Ash on the skin  

Simple in form, extraordinary in surface: the ash on vases, bowls, jars and co. makes Job Heykamp's utility ceramics so special. Their rough surface made of different layers of wood ash glaze and engobes in earthy tones, accentuated in sgrafitto technique, creates imaginative pictures and dissolute landscapes.
