Playful, dreamy, mysterious

With Steffi Herz, the name says it all. Her ceramic small series, unique pieces and objects are turned, turned off, mounted, decorated with stamps, painted with engobes and partly gold-plated. Out of intuition, the ceramicist allows forms to emerge and each small series tells its own story. Playing with the material creates works that leave room for your own interpretations.
