Nana König lives in Hamburg and has her ceramics studio on a former farm on the outskirts of the city. She finds peace and inspiration here. Nana came to ceramics while working as art director for a German publishing house. What began as a hobby to switch off from work quickly evolved into a passion and she knew exactly what she wanted to create. In order to gain the knowledge to implement her ideas, she began studying ceramic design part-time at a technical school. "I absorbed lots of specialist knowledge of the ceramics craft in the technical school at the beginning of my studying – including cramming the periodic table once again." Nana has experimented with many different techniques. However, her style remains recognisable. She is currently focusing on free-form work. Her process involves letting go of all limits, not pursuing a particular goal, and being empowered by chance – the result of which are unique pieces.
