About Me

Introduction	My name is Christine Nebosis and I live in a small town in Austria and an even smaller one on the smallest Canarian island. My time in Austria is full of producing and selling, working on orders and doing classes. My spanish winters are full of experimenting and learning, taking online classes myself, trying new techniques and painting… all the things, I don`t have time the rest of the year.

What I Love about Ceramics	Endless possibilities depending on different personalities. Being able to make things that will be part of other peoples everyday life gives me a lot of joy. And there is always more to learn, more to find out, the possibility to develop better skills and find out, what is your specific language. Using clay in therapeutical settings is also a great resource for me.
How I started with ceramics	My husband gave me my first kiln for my 30th birthday – so I had to do something with it – and it turned out I am addicted…
What inspires me	Nature and the world that is sorraunding me. The material itself and its different conditions, slip, plastic, leatherhard, bonedry, bisqued, readyfired – each of them offering new possibilities. And of course many of my fellow artists – ceramicists , painters, writers… with their very special individual approach.
What I'm working on at the moment	The last few months I spent getting to know better my gas kiln which is totally new for me. Improving my throwing, getting deeply into precision (to be able to get rid of it afterwards and improvise) and playing around with different decoration techniques, trying to do as many steps as possible on the wheel – even cleaning, glazing, sponging… to have a more consistent appearence.
