The starting point of Annet Leichel's work is porcelain.
She creates bowls, vases, and other container forms. Each piece is unique: the shape, the pattern, and the color composition are always different. She colors the porcelain beforehand using ceramic pigments. From this tinted porcelain, she rolls out slabs, which she decorates by inlaying them with thin pieces of porcelain in various colors. From these decorated slabs, she constructs her forms.
Her work is characterized by simple, classical shapes, stylized patterns, and a limited color palette in predominantly soft, matte tones. While much of her work is functional, artistic and decorative considerations always take precedence. She often chooses to leave her pieces unglazed, as high-fired porcelain naturally has a silky matte, velvety surface. She considers this tactile quality an essential added value in her work.
All her porcelain is fired in an electric kiln to 1240°C (cone 7). For vases and teabowls, she applies glaze to the interior to make them more practical for everyday use.
