A shallow, wheel-thrown stoneware bowl in soft river-silt gray, its surface marked by faint spiral lines and tiny iron speckles, sits on an old wooden workbench dusted with dry clay. In the background, out of focus, are simple tools, a bucket of cloudy slip, and a window revealing a hint of green landscape. Late afternoon natural light streams in from the side, catching the subtle satin sheen of the glaze and casting gentle shadows. Photographic realism, eye-level composition with shallow depth of field creates a calm, contemplative mood, evoking the quiet moment when a finished piece rests after its journey from raw earth to fired ceramic.

Fra vill leire i elva til ferdige bruksgjenstander – en reise gjennom jord, vann, luft, ild.

Om

Flod keramikk er en langsom dialog mellom elv, leire og ild. Her deler jeg prosess, valg og feiltrinn, for deg som vil forstå hvordan ting blir til – les mer på Om-siden.

A minimalist breakfast scene featuring a single elegant ceramic mug and matching plate, both made from speckled stoneware with a soft off-white glaze that thins to reveal warm clay at the rim and foot. They rest on a simple wooden table near a large window overlooking a misty forest. Gentle morning light pours in, creating delicate reflections on the ceramics and long, soft shadows across the wood grain. Photographic realism, composed with generous negative space and a shallow depth of field that blurs the serene landscape outside. The mood is calm and sophisticated, suggesting ethical, small-scale craftsmanship and a mindful, nature-connected way of living.
An open outdoor firing pit lined with bricks and river stones, filled with carefully stacked ceramic pieces wrapped in straw, sawdust, and dried seaweed, emits a low, glowing heat. Wisps of pale smoke rise into the cool evening air, catching the last warm light of sunset. Nearby, buckets of water and a pile of unprocessed clay sit on the ground, hinting at the full cycle of earth and fire. Photographic realism from a slightly elevated angle, with the brightest focus on the subtle orange embers and the matte surfaces of the unfired pots. The atmosphere feels ancient yet refined, highlighting elemental forces—fire, air, earth, and water—in quiet collaboration.

Notater fra elvebredden

Små glimt fra verkstedet, leire under neglene og stille stunder ved elva. Her samler jeg tanker, skisser og bilder som ikke alltid blir til ferdige arbeider, men som former blikket mitt på natur og ting.
