I recently came across the work of Marianne Hallberg and figured I’d better share it with you all as it’s so lovely.
Sadly her website isn’t in english but here is the google translate version, which is hopefully accurate enough.
“The material I use is stoneware with a white tin glaze, decorated with cobalt oxide. Firing temperature is 1250 ° C.
Use items are rolled to be thin and beautiful. I have interested me for ornamentation, studied the flowers, exploring symbols, squares, dots, stripes, and combined them like patch quilts, to tell you about my approach to beauty and desire.”
See more of her gorgeous work here.

For a while now I keep meaning to post about a lovely new potter I recently stumbled across. Well new to me, maybe not to you. I instantly fell in love with these beautiful pieces. Here’s a bit from his profile:
“My ceramic work is both practical for the enjoyment of everyday use as well as aesthetically pleasing for the presence in a room. I choose the wood fired process solely because it is an extension of my finding experience when creating. The wood fire process truly is an exciting adventure with discovery and the unexpected which is one of the most valuable experiences of human existence.”
