He makes mostly vases slowly hand building his shapes adding layer after layer from the bottom up. This process, known as coil building, is the earliest pottery making method and it offers the highest degree of control over the size and shape of wares.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Roland Summer artworks - Photo credits: www.rolandsummer.at\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Summer-vases1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2474\" style=\"margin: 6px 8px;\" title=\"Roland Summer artworks - Photo credits: www.rolandsummer.at\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Summer-vases1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Summer-vases1.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Summer-vases1-300x278.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/a><\/strong>Once his form is ready he burnishes it and proceeds to slip it in Terra Sigillata. Then he raku-fires it with a glaze that cracks off during the process, leaving a perfectly smooth surface. He\u2019s been investigating and perfecting this process for years, reaching a high degree of formal perfection. He named it Lost Glaze.<\/p>\n<p>All his techniques are inspired by ancient civilizations: coil building from African or Pre-Columbian cultures, clay burnishing is still used in Africa and America, the Terre Sigillate were typical of Greek and Etruscan works, Raku firing originated in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Making pottery the way Roland Summer does is both complex and risky. It leads to many failures, but it also delivers outstanding and unique results.<\/p>\n<p>His works combine classical proportions and architectural forms with the irregularities due to the coiling process. In addition, the lost glaze delivers carbon markings that seem to float within the depths of the polished translucent surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Summer\u2019s vases dominate the space with their physical standing and sensual curves. One cannot but love or hate them. Indifference is not allowed.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Christina Wiese artworks - Photo credits: www.christinawiese.at\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Christina-Wiese.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2476\" style=\"margin: 6px;\" title=\"Christina Wiese artworks - Photo credits: www.christinawiese.at\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Christina-Wiese.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Christina-Wiese.jpg 565w, https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Christina-Wiese-300x255.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/a>The words \u201ctime\u201d and \u201csymbol\u201d seem the best option to summarize <strong>Christina Wiese<\/strong>\u2019s works.<\/p>\n<p>Her ships combine hand build clay forms and materials that come from the past \u2026 lost traces that magically come to life and meaning.
