CAROLINE TIMM is a Hamburg based artist working primarily with ceramics and painting. Her practice explores the relationship between architecture, material, and memory, shaped by a background in urban planning and a long standing attention to the atmospheres of built spaces.
She approaches environments as more than functional structures. She is interested in their surfaces, rhythms, and quiet details, and in how places hold time and shape perception. In the studio, these observations become vessels, objects, reliefs, and paintings that sit between everyday use and a more contemplative presence.
Her process often moves across different media. It can begin with photography, sometimes through double exposures that layer architectural fragments, then unfold into abstract painting. From there, images shift into ceramic reliefs that bring surface into three dimensions, and finally into wheel thrown pieces where proportion, weight, and touch carry the same ideas into functional form. In this way, the work moves from surface to space, translating architectural perception into material.
Her practice has been shaped by working between Berlin, Stockholm, Scotland, and Hamburg, and by staying close to both craft and contemporary design contexts. Alongside her personal work, she co founded Turning Tables, a studio dedicated to custom made ceramics for special places and gastronomy. For B2B enquiries, commissions, and collaborations, she handles requests through Turning Tables.
