Join Max Waterhouse as he takes a walk around Anne Mette Hjortshøj's fourth major ceramics exhibition at Goldmark. With nearly 700 pots made over the last three years, it represents a celebration of local clays from the Danish island of Bornholm where she lives and works. Among her recent projects was a special commission to supply tableware for a Kyoto pop-up for Noma – famously ‘the best restaurant in the world’.
Anne Mette Hjortshøj embarked on her ceramics journey under the guidance of the legendary potter Phil Rogers in 1998. Despite initial doubts, Rogers quickly recognized her immense talent, humble nature, and unwavering determination, ensuring a successful and innovative career for Anne Mette.
