Ceramic vessels by Helmut Menzel

The vessels look like small sculptures.
You can use them.
They show more than just their purpose.

The artist Helmut Menzel comes from Berlin.
He works for the Institute for Crafts in Weiden.
He builds the vessels with wooden models and by means of impressions.
Glazing and firing are important.

The shape is not created solely by the hand.
The artist does not want to be so important.
Tools, working methods, and the material determine the shape.
They combine function and sculpture.
