Asche und Glut - Meisterwerke der Keramikkunst von Jan Kollwitz

In the organizer's words:

Ashes and Embers - Masterpieces of Ceramic Art by Jan Kollwitz

May 22 to August 30, 2025 - extended until August 31, 2025
Finissage: Sunday, August 31, 2 p.m.

In his workshop in Cismar, Jan Kollwitz creates timeless ceramics using traditional Japanese manufacturing techniques. As a student of master Yutaka Nakamura, Kollwitz learned how to work and fire traditional vessels in the pottery town of Echizen.
His ceramics show the unmistakable ash glazes that are only created in wood firing and are typical of the traditional Japanese single-chamber Anagama kilns. Jan Kollwitz is a great-grandson of the sculptor Käthe Kollwitz and one of the few ceramic artists in Germany to build a bridge between European ceramic art and Far Eastern tradition, transculturally and using authentic firing techniques.
