Valentin Alscher, born in 1966, and Grisella Kreiterling, born in 1971, live and work in St. Pauli. Valentin Alscher studied fine art at the HfbK Hamburg under the sculptor Bogomir Ecker, Grisella Kreiterling obtained her diploma in product design at the HfbK.
Clay in its own materiality and color characterizes the outer skin of the couple's ceramics, as they only glaze the inside of their vessels transparently. Unagitated and pure in their formal language, they turn the ceramics freely on the wheel. The double firing turns the clay into stoneware, making the ceramics resilient and impact-resistant. A necessary characteristic for use in the catering industry. Grisella Kreiterling and Valentin Alscher's tableware is not only straightforward and simply beautiful, but also robust and durable.
