Very special piece of pottery by the amazing Ulla Hansen. Her work is so unique, using the ashy Danish clay she creates ancient feeling pieces that come alive in the light. Somehow her work feels ancient, Ulla has a magic touch that is so exciting.

Artist: Ulla Hansen - "My preferred shapes and forms are classically inspired by ancient, Islamic and Asian arts and crafts. My clay is the very sandy red clay from the South of Denmark. In my large trays and bowls, I add stoneware clay. I mix and clean it myself and store it for more than a year before I use it. I throw all my pieces on the wheel, after which I pull or draw lobes, make facets, cut, shape, and/or stamp bands. I give most pieces a slip - often several layers. I'm very fascinated by glazes and the hues derived from the slips and the ash and clay glazes."
