Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Regina Heinz studied Painting at the Academy of Fine Art, Vienna followed by studies in Ceramics in Geneva and London. She established her independent studio in London in 1998 with the help of a Crafts Council setting-up grant. Heinz is best known for her fluid, abstract clay forms, either free-standing or wall-mounted, which are both intimately scaled and tactile. Pieces draw inspiration from the undulating forms of the landscape, the flow of water and the human body. In recent years, Heinz has developed a range of three-dimensional architectural ceramics for private and public clients including a series of sculptural wall pieces for P&O’s newest cruise ship, Britannia, in 2014.
