Plant and animal forms

  • • Judith is a very skilled engobe painter
  • • She enjoys artistically demanding processes
  • • She founded an artist collective

Judith Runge is a ceramicist and artist from Halle. She trained at the famous Meissen Porcelain Manufacture as a porcelain painter, which is an extremely prestigious four-year training programme. Meissen's porcelain painters work on one design only, and Judith specialised in floral decorations. Upon completion of her training she began her studies at Burg Giebichenstein Art Academy, during which she spent a semester in Iceland. She learned pottery making during this time. Judith opened her own ceramic studio in 2000 following her postgraduate study at the HFKD. As a result of the inspiration she draws from plants and animals, her sculptures often seem to have a personality of their own. Their indistinguishable forms capture the imagination. In addition to co-founding a forum for contemporary ceramics, Judith also created an artist collective whose public installations have drawn wide attention.

Tray

This tray is made out of red clay and thrown on the potter's wheel. It was then painted with colour bodies in several layers. A transparent glaze covers the piece on the inside. On the outside there are a lot of transparent glaze-spots over the black engobe.

Seestück

This object is built by hand. Judith Runge first built the main body and then added the little structures all around. The inside is filled with glass in a very thick layer and the whole item is fired as one.

The objects here are hand formed, with some parts of the objects formed out of several plaster moulds made by Judith Runge. Every piece is unique. They are painted with colour, and some parts are covered with glaze and platinum.
