Jeremy Burns-Rupp
Glazes over glazes
With French ceramist Jeremy Burns-Rupp, every piece is unique - really. The surfaces are characterized by a variety of traditional techniques such as celadon and shino ceramics, which create fantastic landscapes and exciting topographies in the kiln through chance, intuition and experimentation.

Jeremy Burns-Rupp's main areas of work well explained:
Shino refers to a genre of ceramics that originated in Japan in the 16th century and is still highly prized today for its tactile and visual qualities.
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.
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.
