Andrea Bielicki
Ornament or figure?
Andrea Bielicki perfects her utilitarian ceramics, turned and constructed from stoneware, with a figurative and ornamental surface design carved into the clay. Body to body, line to line, the curved human forms blur into a lively surface. A real treat for the eye and hand.

Andrea Bielicki'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.
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).
In the context of the „Internationalen Keramiktage Oldenburg“ , the term "unique vessel" is associated with special, artistic vessels.
