Claus Tittmann's work is characterised by his artistic and experimental approach to working with clay, bronze, aluminium and iron. His work is characterised by a balance of form and exciting surface structures that develop during the working process. Vessels, sculptures and archetypal figures of great power and sensuality are created in his workshop in Berndorf.
