My early youth and my later training as a potter were very much affected by the Bauhaus, but in contrast to its straight line-the curving line is the main idea of my work. The central subject of my work for about half a century has been the wheel-thrown vessel leading from tableware to unique copies, from stoneware to porcelain. At present I am trying to combine both materials in variants of "Doppelform"
