Creative forms of expression

Nicole Thoss from Höhr-Grenzhausen has been enthusiastic about various (ceramic) printing techniques for years. This passion can also be found in her small series for everyday use. Pastel floral surfaces with an abundance of different patterns, printed in a leather-hard state on free-turned, built or even cast ceramics and perfectly color-coordinated, fit gracefully into any household.
