Hold da helt op, der er knald på, i det lille værksted. Her er lige et par småting jeg har gang i: Glasur tests, under glasur test og line blend tests. Genbrænding af nogle gamle emner for at se om jeg kan redde dem og så er jeg igang med at støbe nye forme til […]

Kunsten at være kunstner
Jeg plejede at tro, at alt, hvad jeg skulle gøre, var at fokusere på kunsthåndværket, og resten ville følge efter, men for dælen hvor tog jeg fejl. Det er som om, der er en ny platform hver dag, og hvis du ikke er på den, kan du lige så godt bo under en sten. Man […]
Prep søndag og ordrer
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 […]
Kreamesse Sønderborg – 16-10-2022
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 […]
Testing to find my own style
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 […]
Almost two weeks as self-employed
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 […]
Walking on water today – new webshop is live <3
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 […]
Wish I could go back in time!
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 […]
I JUST QUIT MY JOB!

Glaze course by Tine Secher day 2
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 […]
Glaze course by Tine Secher day 1
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 […]
How to get google to see you
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 […]
My internship with Thora
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 […]
It’s saturday, It’s 5 AM and I can’t sleep
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 […]
Internship coming up!
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 […]
