Sabine Kratzer
Burnt in the fire!
Wood kiln firing is Sabine Kratzer's trademark. She uses this original method of firing to produce tea bowls and other utility ceramics made of porcelain and stoneware - coated with shino and ori glazes. Fine color nuances, a feeling for the diverse characteristics of the glazes and lively shapes characterize the overall appearance of the ceramics.

Sabine Kratzer's main areas of work well explained:
Seladon refers to grey-green to blue-green thickly applied feldspar glazes whose special colouring comes from iron oxide.
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.
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 a ceramic material made of feldspar, kaolin and quartz, with dense, light-coloured to white shards (term for a fired ceramic mass)
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.
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.
