Simone Krug-Springsguth
constructed 2025
Simone sees her work as a symbolic expression of inner and outer worlds - give and take, drawing life force or sharing it with others. Connection to the Earth and the energy of fire united with the longing for belonging, and the sensitivity of rituals looking for the source. A vessel or a room for secrets.
Simone’s work is characterised through the strongly contrasting combination of different materials. She mostly uses roughly grogged clay to attain clear forms and seemingly archaic surfaces. These surfaces give her work an emotional vitality and spirit which, when in combination with the form and other materials, develops it’s own artistic language.
Her works are individual unique ceramic pieces combined with old artefacts or found objects, detached from their actual function. She combines old metal finds with welded metal structures.
Simone mixes her clay material herself (a mixture of clay and porcelain). Her objects are hand built and fired to 1270 degrees.
Simone was born in Chemnitz, and pursued a career as an technical illustrator before discovering the possibilities of ceramics in 1995.
At first she was self-taught but soon learned from well-known ceramic artists such as Markus Klausmann and PeterTauscher.
Based on these experiences, she studied Design and Product Design at the Chemnitz University of Design from 2007 to 2011.
Since then, Simone has set up her own studio, and has participated in exhibitions in France, China 2024, Switzerland and the Ceramic Art London; she has won several design awards and in addition to her studio work she also is a guest lecturer and curator at the Wasserschloss Klaffenbach Center for Design.
