Über das Objekt: Asta Volkensfelds Keramik Urne ist ca. 15cm hoch und hat einen Durchmesser von ca. 8 cm. Ihre klar strukturiere geometrische Musterung steht im spannungsvollen Kontrast zu der zufälligen, lebendigen Rauchzeichnung, die erst durch den dritten Brand, den Rauchbrand, entsteht. Diese Kombination in der Oberflächengestaltung, erweitert durch den Einsatz von Astas selbst hergestellten Ascheglasuren machen jedes Objekt einzigartig. Zum Unikat. 

Individualisierung inklusive, Lieferzeit für Individualisierung ca. 3 Wochen, Rohlinge 4 Wochen, aktuell 7 Wochen

Herstellungsverfahren: Asta Volkensfelds Keramiken entstehen in Aufbautechnik. Anschließend werden die Objekte in mehreren Durchgängen im lederharten Zustand mit einem Halbedelstein poliert. So entsteht der seidige Glanz. Die Objekte sind dreimal gebrannt. Die ersten beiden Brände erfolgen im Elektroofen bei maximal 980 Grad. Nach den ersten Bränden wird das grafische Muster durch  Kreppband und ein Sand-Schlicker Gemisch aufgetragen. Der abschließende dritte Brand, der Rauchbrand, erfolgt in der Rauchtonne. Der Rauchbrand kann bis zu zwei Tagen dauern. Dabei liegen die Keramiken in Sägespäne, Reisig und Zeitungspapier. So entstehen die typischen Rauchzeichnungen. Nach dem Rauchbrand und der sorgfältigen Reinigung der Stücke, werden die Arbeiten mit Bienenwachs beschichtet und abermals poliert.

  • Asta Volkensfeld ceramics should only be washed by hand if necessary. Use clear water or a maximum of gentle cleaning agents, a damp cloth and, if necessary, a soft brush. And never use abrasive sponges.
  • Dry the ceramic carefully after cleaning to avoid water stains.
  • Asta's vases are waterproof. The bowls are sealed with rice water and are therefore suitable for use with food. However, the bowls should not be used for salads, for example. Acid can damage the polished surface. However, the bowls can be used for things like pastries, nuts or uncut fresh fruit.
  • Ceramics can be rougher on the underside than containers made of other materials. We therefore recommend protecting sensitive surfaces on which the ceramic is to stand from scratching if necessary.

Asta Volkensfeld

Asta Volkensfeld's work focuses on the themes of origin, identity and transience. Her ceramics appear clear and structured due to their geometric patterns, while at the same time they are touching due to their beauty of form and functionality. The objects develop a quiet presence and enter into a subtle dialog with the viewer.

Asta Volkensfeld was born in Eutin in 1981. After training as a dressmaker in Hamburg in 2005, she attended the School of Textile Design in Berlin from 2015 to 2018. In 2021, she began her ceramics training and collaboration with Marie-Annick Le Blanc. She has lived in Brandenburg since 2022 and runs her own studio in Groß Köris, where she offers courses and workshops. She has been a member of GEDOK Brandenburg since 2023 and was awarded the DA! Art Award in 2024.

The focus of her artistic practice is on ceramic objects using the build-up technique and their refinement in smoke firing. She produces her ash glazes herself. The natural color tones and multi-layered surfaces of her works emphasize the close connection between nature, man and craft that is inherent in her works.
