Porcelain you can touch
Dot after dot, bead after bead - this is how the ornaments, applied to the turned porcelain with a thick engobe, line up on the elegant white. Sophia Weiß finds the inspiration for her designs in nature, the depths of the underwater world and Art Nouveau. Haptics are very important here - touching is a must!

A clear explanation of Sophia Weiß's areas of focus:
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.
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 a ceramic material made of feldspar, kaolin and quartz, with dense, light-coloured to white shards (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.
