Summer market

It is time for another market at the pottery studio this weekend. As usual I have not had time to make much, but my fellow 'workshoppers' have been producing non-stop for the last cople of months, so there should be a lot of ceramics up for grabs. And of course there will be cake! So if you are in the area, you are hereby invited to stop by and say hello.

Update: The weather was not the best, but we still had a fun weekend. Lots of people stopped by. And I sold most of my nerikomi pieces, hurra!.

Christmas Market Invite

If you are in Oslo on the 28-29th of November, you are welcome to stop by and say hello! And if you don't care much for ceramics, there will be cake :)

Cristmas market frenzy

This year the pottery studio is having a stab at arranging a Christmas market in our back yard for the first time. The last couple of months has been a blur of activity, as everyone is trying to have enough christmas related stuff ready in time... at this point I think we all would be quite happy if we never saw a heart, star or an angel ever again. But it has also been great fun to have the same common goal to work towards.

I have been super busy at my day-job too, so have only managed to get a few things ready. But the important thing is to be participating, right?

Lazy Sunday

Today the weather was quite nice, and I spent the day pottering away in my workshop, and strolling around the local markets. They usually have quite a good selection of Norwegian mid-century enamel and crockery, and although usually quite pricy, lovely to look at!

I bought a berry picker (is that what it is called in English?) made from a tin can during the war, and a pillow case with beautiful hand stitching. I have now used this as a print pattern on some stoneware hearts I am making as decorations for my brother’s wedding later this month. Not sure how they will come out yet...will keep you posted.
