Life in the capsule

Straw, wood, coal, coke and salt, all put into a capsule together with turned or hand-built ceramics engobed with ochre and porcelain and then fired in a gas kiln: That is the secret of Markus Klausmann's fascinating fire-drawn vessels. Shino pieces are another focus of his work, along with porcelain with a "haptic touch", which is given its very special radiance by the addition of coarse clay substances.
