Amazing work ❤❤

[@matthewhiggins3555]

Stunning work - as a beginner in ceramics I am truly in awe of this work. Interestingly, the radiating lines remind me of medieval Persian ceramics.

Sehr schön!

[@Joedirt5]

Omg amazing

[@MatinaPapagiannarou]

Very beautiful. One question: if the lines you draw with crayons are hydrophobic, how do they retain afterwards the hydrophilic transparent glaze?

[@CeramicReviewmagazine]

Hi Matina, good question - it would be best to ask Katharina directly: www.katharinaklugceramics.com/contact/

[@dixiefeller9629]

She makes her crayons with wax and oxides. The wax is burnt off on the kiln, the oxides remain on the clay.

[@totaldramafreakgirl]

Amazing!

[@beatrizcortezdekeller2993]

Lovely

[@panoramicviolinist]

I love your homemade wax crayons. Thank you

[@extraSPARErib]

I like to look at.

[@markhughes3522]

how do you make your pastels?

[@tonyandbevjordan7363]

What is the mixture in your pastels? Wax + clay + ? Im new to ceramics but love your idea of using simple lines. Less is more! Ive been making silver jewellery for 20 yrs, so just need a change. Have booked into classes - freestyle hand building. Mainly pinchpots well made. Im 76yrs so handbuilding seems my best way forward. NZ. Thank you🌼. Bev. Jordan

Beautiful work. Does the "crayon" vitrify like glaze in the kiln?

[@CeramicReviewmagazine]

很漂亮

[@SoapyTitsWank]

She needs to branch out a bit. IMHO

[@Julian-vc2hr]

How can she survive with that accent and lack of command of the English language and in Cambridge no less?

[@davidpond8300]

What an nasty thing to say. I love the way she expresses herself. And Cambridge is much more welcoming and accepting than you imagine.

[@marskinlan2034]

🤨🤔

[@jealousharibo]

Perhaps because she doesn't work in a big corporation, isn't a lawyer or a clerk, isn't a doctor, nurse, teacher - anything that compels one to use the language on a commendable level? She could be absolutely foreign or just mute and her work would not suffer for it. Get a grip.

[@elainebradleyceramicartist3213]

The woman speaks beautifully. Check your manners.

[@Julian-vc2hr]

@@elainebradleyceramicartist3213 no her accent is stupid. So are you.

[@JF-cr9uz]
