Sabine Thies
Everyday glamour
Sabine Thies' workshop creates harmonious, durable shapes made of porcelain and stoneware in a light, matt design for everyday use. The subtle colors of her handmade or potter's wheel thrown pieces complement the form. Monochromatic surfaces, occasionally refined with striped decoration or dabbed flowers, dominate and radiate calm.

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).
