Schymanns keramik

Dansk

Autencitet, ro og større sanselighed er nøgleordene, når Schymann arbejder med leret. I en til tider kaotisk hverdag med 3 små børn fungerer skabelsen som et åndehul og et frirum, da arbejdet med leret kræver hendes fulde opmærksomhed.

Siden hun som 16-årig startede i kokkebranchen, har hun altid haft en ambitiøs og hårdtarbejdende tilgang til faget. En indstilling, der både har bragt hende forbi nogen af branchens finere restauranter og kastet lederstillinger af sig. Men efter 15 år i miljøet valgte hun at flytte fra byen og tage et brancheskifte. Her startede hun i stedet sit keramikeventyr hos en lokal kunstner og blev straks fanget af et materiale og en proces, der krævede en større ro og fordybelse, end hun før havde været vant til i sit arbejdsliv.

I sin tilgang til leret arbejder hun med det – ikke mod det. Processen er intuitiv, og hun bruger materialets iboende ånd, og lader det udfolde sig på egne præmisser. Derfor er få ting ens i Schymanns keramik, da skabelsesprocessen altid starter på ny.

Keramikken bliver fremstillet i hendes egen lille værkstedsbutik i Stubbekøbing.

Authenticity, tranquility, and heightened sensuality are the keywords when Schymann works with clay. In a sometimes chaotic daily life with three young children, the act of creation serves as a breath of fresh air and a sanctuary, as working with clay demands her full attention.

Since she embarked on her culinary journey at the age of 16, she has always approached her profession with ambition and a strong work ethic. This mindset has led her through some of the industry’s finest restaurants and into leadership roles. However, after 15 years in that environment, she chose to leave the city and undergo a career change. Instead, she embarked on her ceramic adventure with a local artist, instantly captivated by a material and process that demanded more tranquility and immersion than she had previously known in her professional life.

In her approach to clay, she collaborates with it rather than against it. The process is intuitive, and she harnesses the material’s inherent spirit, allowing it to unfold on its own terms. As a result, few things in Schymann’s ceramics are alike, as the creative process always begins anew.

Her ceramics are crafted in her own small workshop boutique in Stubbekøbing.
