Romina Ried’s work reflects her observations and experiences in and with nature. Through a combination of free-throwing, shaping, and hand-building, she creates gnarled floor vases reminiscent of rustic trees and vessels whose surfaces are adorned with relief-like landscapes. Ried sources most of the raw materials for her glazes from the local area—her recipe for a unique, natural color palette.

Romina Ried's main areas of work 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.
In fossil fuel furnaces fired with oil, gas, wood, coal or coke, the fire occurs in an open flame and reducing atmosphere.
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).
In the context of the „Internationalen Keramiktage Oldenburg“ , the term "unique vessel" is associated with special, artistic vessels.
