Holiday feelings
A summer flower meadow and a long table set for a joyful feast with friends come to mind when we encounter Judith Radl’s rustic yet elegantly designed functional ceramics. The original stoneware tableware, coated with colored engobes and transparent glaze, is elaborately decorated with fluting, stamped patterns, and incised designs, giving it its truly distinctive character.

Judith Radl Work priorities 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.
Engobe refers to a mixture of finely slurried clay liquefied with water, which is applied to raw or also bisqued ceramic workpieces for decoration.
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).
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.
