Vase, Bouquet, from Danish ceramist Birgitte Munck. Birgitte Munck's interest in ceramics began early, when she was a student of Danish ceramist Inger Rokkjær. Her training was a great source of inspiration and set her on a lifelong journey working in ceramics.
She uses various techniques including turning, modeling and carving. The turned works, often on a domestic scale, are often cut, beveled and altered while still leather-hard to create calm forms and tactile surface textures.
Birgitte works mostly with red stoneware clay, which is fired to a rich, dark brown color with iron filings showing through the glaze. She also works with coarser and lighter stoneware clays to achieve beautiful, bright glazes. She established her workshop in Denmark in 2011, where she works, designs and occasionally teaches ceramics.
In 2020, she moved to Reykjavik, Iceland, where she continues her artistic ceramic journey, strongly inspired by Iceland’s earthy colors: lava, moss, glacial lagoons and geothermal areas. She is the co-founder of Reykjavik Clay, Iceland’s first open ceramics studio, opening in 2023. After a lifelong journey in ceramics, inspired by Nordic and Japanese aesthetics, as well as her time in the aid sector, she established the studio to make ceramics accessible to everyone – both as a hobby and a career path.
