Meet the teachers

Ceramist
Isabel Anne
Isabel graduated from the ceramic department at the School of Visual Arts of Reykjavik in Iceland. She has been living and working in Denmark for a year, completing a young-artist residency at Guldagergaard Ceramic Research Centre and an apprenticeship with ceramicist Christian Bruun. She is now running her own business and teaching throwing courses. She works both with functional tableware and with larger-scale sculptures. Her interests lie in creating new worlds within her work, which stems from her degree in Zoology. "Ultimately, working with clay gives me an opportunity to be with the material. Life can always feel disconnected from the moment you are in, but clay demands your presence and asks you to be connected to the moment."

At her workshop in Copenhagen, all the products are produced by hand, using techniques such as slip-cast, hand throwing, and brush painting. Through experiments with materials and techniques, she develops forms, glazes, and decorations which are based on a simple and functional idiom. “When I teach, I love passing on the techniques I have learned over time. I find it very interesting to see what kind of results can spring out of an otherwise traditional technique when applying a creative and innovative approach. Also, I find it inspiring to follow the journey that my students go through when learning about ceramics, whether they are complete beginners or working at a more advanced level”.

Ceramist
Ida Odgaard
Ida Odgaard is a trained a ceramist from the Danish Design Academy. In my ceramic work, I like to focus on shaping and working with form. I am specially interested in the intersection between aesthetics and function. In my craft, I try to create useful and beautiful things, that can elevate situations in the everyday life. I mostly throw pots, because I love throwing and because each pot gets a unique handprint through the craft.

When teaching she focuses on giving her students an introduction in how to work with - and understand clay, and how to give shape and character to it.

Today she runs a small, personal studio in Copenhagen, Denmark. In the creative practice she focuses on form, function and process on a multisensory level. With her objects she explores simplicity and playfulness. Her work reflects the intersection of curiosity and familiarity. “ In my world fabrication and craft goes hand in hand with design. I see myself flourishing the most when I have the opportunity to learn new skills and explore new possibilities. While teaching I would like to pass on this energy and motivate others to dive into a tactile language while playing with clay.”
