About the object: This bowl made of black stoneware clay, created using a build-up technique, is approx. 10cm high and has a diameter of approx. 18cm. It is part of Dietlind's long-term project "Traces" and belongs to her series "Tegula" (lat., brick) from 2024. In her search for traces, Dietlind discovers rocks and materials that, when ground to dust, become part of the object's surface. For the Tegula series, Dietlind gained access to excavation sites in the Beckergrube on Lübeck's Old Town Island through her collaboration with the Department of Archaeology and Monument Preservation in Lübeck. There she found bricks, floor tiles, street dirt and clay from the 16th century, ground them up at great expense and then applied them to everyday objects. Through the firing process, these traces of the past create visible and tactile surfaces that merge inseparably with the object of the present.
The materials used for the surfaces of the object are food-safe and waterproof. The object can therefore be used in a variety of ways. Or simply delight your senses.
Each object in the Tegula series is unique in its shape and surface and comes with a printed certificate. The document contains information about the product and the materials used and was created by Dietlind Wolf herself. Furthermore, samples of the ground historical material are part of the work and are delivered together with the object.
Manufacturing process: This work is made of black stoneware clay using the body-building technique and was pre-fired at 960° in an electric kiln. The outer surface was partially covered with engobe made of black stoneware clay before biscuit firing. The glazes were developed in-house from clay finds and material provided by the Lübeck Department of Archaeology and Monument Conservation from Dietlind excavation sites. Inside: Glaze #5: Lübeck, Beckergrube 29, tile no. 3, ca. 16th century. Outside: Glaze #1: Lübeck, Beckergrube 29, street dirt, ca. 16th century. Glaze #2: Lübeck, Beckergrube 19, clay find, ca. 16th century. The vessel was fired at 1250° C in an electric kiln. All surfaces that are not glazed were coated with liquid quartz (Sio2). They are food-safe and waterproof.
