Min mand er som de fleste måske ved Tømrermester og han arbejder typisk med store erhvervs projekter. Det betyder en del varer på vores lager, såsom køkkener, døre, vinduer og alt muligt andet byggemateriale. Det bliver leveret med fragtmand og er typisk pakket ind i både plastik, pap, skum og alt muligt andet. Det er […]
Last weekend was a hit, and I sold out before lunch time on several handcrafted new pieces, which was either great (because people loved my new designs), or just a bit newbie stupid, that I didn’t create enough to meet the demand, and therefore missed out on sales. I was listed in the local online […]
So these days I am super busy. I am working with some of the safe stuff, like jesmonite and standard glazed for my ceramic pieces. These pieces are fairly easy to make and to ensure consistant results so that I have items for my webshop amd the markets. BUT… I need to find my own […]
It’s sunday and I spend most of my weekend working, preparing for the two big upcomming creative fairs in Hillerød and Sønderborg. I have a full load of new ceramic items in the kiln, and I can’t wait to open the kiln tomorrow. I think most ceramic artists can relate when I say it feels […]
So time really does fly when you are having fun. The last two weeks have been some of the bussiest for a long time, and yet I havent been to a single teams meeting, steerco meeting or status with my boss. Oh wait a minute… I’m the boss, so I guess I had plenty of […]
So, I have been working hard on my webshop, as I refuse to pay someone external to create it for me and pay xx thousands of dollars to do so and then pay a monthly fee for the rest of my life for support and tech help which is also very expensive. Starting as an […]
A few weeks ago I quit my job and was all excited to be starting a new adventure and get some quality me-time (much needed). On Sep. 1st 2022 I no longer have a job as a Team Lead for a Tech team of 9 very smart, intelligent and lovely group of people. The goodbye […]
Its been two turbulent days since I quit my very well paid full time teamlead IT job. Yesterday I had to tell my team the news and it was one of the hardest things to do. why did I do that? Because I had to. Simple as that. I just had to slow down, feel […]
So I am going for this faire and I can’t wait. I am so exited to show some of the new stuff I have been working on. So the car is almost packed, and only a few minor things like price tags, shelves etc, then I am good to go. Mostly I look forward to […]
So the second day of the course finally arrived and I was very excited to see the results of the last course’s many tests. We worked with everything from stains (blue) to Tinoxide, Magnesium, Siliciumcarbid, Rutil to strotiumcarbonate (don’t know the english words for them), but they are all very determining for the outcome of […]
This weekend was a big thing for me – I was attending an advanced glazing course downtown Copenhagen at Keramikskolen with instructor Tine Seier. I have worked with glazing before and find it very confusing and somewhat technically challenging and I wanted to improve my skills so that I can start making my own glazes […]
I have been in IT for more than 20 years now and I am not in any way an expert on webshops, online presence and all the SoMe lingo – BUT let me just give you a brief overview of all the things you need to consider if you want success online and google is […]
I just finished my second day of my internship with Thora Finnsdottir. 12 hours flew by like nothing. Im covered in dust and clay and my back is sore. But I’m also smiling, having lots of happy creative ideas and feel like I could go back and do it all again tomorrow. I am practicing […]
Normally, waking up at 5 in the morning on a saturday, would be annoying and leaving me feeling stressed out or worried – nut no today, not at this time in my life. I can’t sleep because I’m exited – and my head is exploding with ideas and I just have to get it out […]
Normally I work a 8-16 job in IT – it’s fast, brutal and stressful but I love it. But it does not leave me with much creativity in the old fashioned sense – creating things that are not on a computer – if you know what I mean? 🙂 Therefore I took the unheard step […]
The day finally arrived where I could pick up my beautiful ceramic creations. I had no idea what to expect, as it was my very first time working with slip casting and glaze. So I went from this: After glaze and 1280 degrees oven This is a small gallery of the weekends learnings. I can […]
Oh my.. day two arrived and went so fast. The day began with getting the pieces out of the kiln, and then making sure they are ready for glazing. The color choices are many and I decided to keep the color palette neutral in white, grey colors The glaze is added to the pieces by […]
For more than 5 months I have been waiting to go for a creative slip casting course in Frederiksværk not too far from where I live. Today was the day and it was just so much for and educational. A while back I “accidentally” browsed Ebay to see if I could maybe buy some molds […]
I had this very beautiful tray, that I just had to make a mold from and after searching for copyrights and not finding anything, as it did not have a brand stamped on it or anything recognizable, I decided to make the mold myself. I filmed the process and I can surely say that I […]
Making candles to go with all the jesmonite design pieces is just a match made in heaving right? So I ventured into the world of candle making. Here are my comments after 2 months of testing. The Mix Making candles is sooo soothing and one should think that its just about getting some paraffin or […]
