Mørkild
Mørkild is ongoing and still under constructions
project that I have started together with Håøya naturverksted and Manufactura ceramics
on a biodynamic goat farm called Mørk gård, which
is located just outside of Sætre in Hurum.
We have built a smokeless woodfired kiln that we
aim to be an open source for other ceramic
studios to follow and build their own versions of. I
was also given the old kiln that used to belong to
the famous Norwegian ceramic artist Lisbeth
Dæling. This will be transformed into a gas kiln. I
am also working on a permanent setup for a
designated Raku kiln.
Apart from the kiln park, I hope that Mørkild in the
future will an inspiration and an asset for ceramic
artists in Norway, but also for Artist in residencies
that want to work with old techniques in a more
sustainable and environmental way.
