About the artist

Renate Frotscher is a ceramic artist who works with hand built forms and textured surfaces to counter the polished, corrected world she knew from digital design. After years in environments where everything could be adjusted, filtered or perfected, she turned to clay to bring back friction, texture and physical presence.
