It consists of making incisions in the surface of the ceramic work, which is subsequently pulled, lengthened or even widened until it creates uncontrollable clefts and fissures which are produced by the non-uniform thickness and by the consistency of the clay. The surface shows the traces of the work progress, and it is the firing of the piece that establishes this special moment.

Work of Karin Putsch-Grassi

After an apprenticeship in the studio of Albrecht Kiedaisch in Tübingen Putsch-Grassi began her studies in ceramics 1982 at "Istituto statale d’Arte” in Florence with Salvatore and Stefano Cipolla.[1] She then opened her own studio and experimented with different local types of clay, glaces and burning techniques. After visiting workshops under John Colbeck she pursued her studies at the Goldsmiths College at the University of London.[citation needed]

She received further inspiration from workshops with Takeshi Yasuda, Ruthanne Tudball, Wally Keeler and Daphne Corregan. She received several rewards and gained notoriety especially with her work in the Raku ware technique. Her works are displayed in public exhibitions and can be found in various European museums as well as in private collections.[citation needed]

Putsch-Grassi’s technique is stimulated by experimenting with new techniques and clays. She works on the relationship between shape and surface, using both throwing and also slap building as her creative technique. The shapes of her pieces are simple, and have a well-defined and linear outline. The final appearance is the result of processes similar to those that nature undergoes, i.e. submitted to continuous changes by atmospheric factors. Between 2010 and 2016 she used the technique named by her as “CUT & STRETCH”.

The surface shows the traces of the work progress, and it is the firing of the piece that establishes this special moment.[citation needed]

Her most recent work follows a newly developed technique named "Figulinae", which consists of assembling soft raw stoneware or porcelain vessels and compressing them to form a new entity. [2]

Putsch-Grassi's work has been exhibited in personal exhibitions in Italy, Germany, Poland and Japan[3] as well as in numerous group exhibtions worldwide. Putsch-Grassi is an elected member of the International Academy of Ceramics.[4].
