It crawls, sings and swims 

A clear language of form, pure white porcelain and poetic paintings: The ceramicist and designer produces dishes reduced to the disc, which are not only a haptic experience, but also provide the painting ground for freely hand-applied flocks of ants, swarms of koi, robins and grasses bending in the wind. What interests Hitzler in particular? The play of body and line, volume and surface - and the finished object, which one no longer wants to put down.
