An extraordinary ceramic artist from Berlin, Germany, Kuhn Keramik is one of the most favorite workshops in Europe.

There is a search for skilled trade and skilled manual work, Kühn Keramik meets this quest. Everything of Kühn Keramik is handmade - conducted with great skill and love to details. Presented for the first time to a large and international public at the International Trade Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1993 Kühn Keramik has now grown to a small international team, Bernhard Kühn being the founder and creative head, and Claudia Elsholz his love and manager.

While walking our pug „Karlos“ we discovered the old „Anhalter Apotheke“ , which had to close down after 120 years of existence. The building got constructed in 1887 in Wilhelminian style as part of a distinguished development area initiated by the nearby Prussian Military Academy, at that time located beyond the borders of Berlin. The pharmacy still houses the furniture originating from the very first day in 1890. The rooms have ceilings almost 6 m high, decorated with elaborate stucco and deceptively real-looking paintings. The old wooden furniture with its shelves glimmering of old age and furniture polish and the even older panelling of the walls create the perfect place to present the ceramic art of Kühn Keramik. Everything is made out of clay.
