Ursula Ströh-Rubens

Goldsmiths School of Art, London: Studied 1961-1965. Post graduate diploma in ceramics and etching 1965-1966. Appointed to a part-time lectureship 1967-1993.

Ursula’s work is held in many collections including: Wilfrid Trust, Auckland, New Zealand; Gateshead Museum, Shipley; Stadt Dortmund, Germany.

"I create unique hand-built vessels which are first biscuit fired and then smoked. Over the years, I have developed an idiosyncratic way of "drawing with smoke". I cover the pot with slip and incise lines which then are exposed to smoke. The slip is then removed and reveals dark, smoked lines on the surface of the pot.

This process results in the expression of a personal response to my experience of travels in Greece. There, the evidence of cultural origins, the land, its nature and its architecture have greatly shaped my visual language. I relate these elements to the forms, structures and surfaces that are developed during the process of building the pot. Thus birds, trees, skies and land emerge out of slips, pigments and fire."
