Kreiß wanted to bring order to her ceramics with architectural and clear forms. She assembled built parts onto the rotated shapes and thereby created contrasts. In terms of color, Doris Kreiß essentially limited himself to warm brown tones, which, with the open, rough and scratched surfaces as well as the wiped engobes and matt glazes, were intended to show the earthiness of the material. She worked with rolled-in hand-dyed clays. A special feature are the twisted small sculptures, which Doris Kreiß gave a basic shape on the potter's wheel, which she then deformed into the final shape.
