During this masterclass, you will learn how to throw round shapes with narrow openings, create large objects, or craft spouts for teapots. You will have the opportunity to request specific throwing techniques you would like to explore further.

Participants are expected to have basic throwing skills. There will be room for two participants per masterclass, ensuring intensive guidance from ceramicist Tove Solbakk Seierstad.

Tove Solbakk Seierstad from Stavanger, Norway, has worked professionally with stoneware clay, with or without fireclay, for 30 years. She works at the intersection of art and craft, with a special focus on functionality. Each creation is unique, and her work is sold in various galleries in Norway and at fairs in Prague, Czech Republic, and Florence, Italy. Her ceramics are fired at such a high temperature that they can withstand everyday use in the dishwasher, oven, and microwave. Tove is a member of the Norwegian Arts and Crafts Association (Norske Kunsthåndverkere) and Norges Husflidslag.

“The mystery of clay, its shape and color, fascinates me endlessly. I long to delight the eye and evoke a rich tactile experience. I’ve never had such a lasting relationship with anything or anyone as I have with clay. My pieces are the result of countless hours of experimentation, enjoyment, frustration, and enthusiasm.”
