Amalie Hammershøi
My passion for traditional handicrafts and arts and crafts started as a child. Much of my family comes from Bornholm, so when visiting family, we always stopped by the island's many glassblowers and ceramists. This is where I first became interested in the creative processes and craftsmanship. My education at the Rudolf Steiner school also helped to open my curiosity and enthusiasm for different crafts and materials.
My fascination continues today and clay and ceramics have now become my work, which I enjoy every day.
On a daily basis you can find me at my workshop at Frontløberne in Aarhus and at Yonobi - Aarhus, where I teach.
You can of course find my ceramics here on the site, but also at Nr4 crafts, design and interior in Jægergårdsgade, Ganefryd in Klostergade and in Copenhagen you can find my things on Amagerbrogade at Butik Alrum.
With sustainability in mind
-
Created with care
As an artisan who creates new things for the world, it is important to me to make climate-friendly decisions wherever possible.
This means that I only produce locally in my workshop, make designs that should last a very long time and that I make small quantities so that I don't produce more than I can sell. -
The clay is recycled
In shaping the clay, there may have been some that is cut off and set aside. I save all this clay and reuse it so that no clay goes to waste. I also pick up recycled materials from other workshops, which I then slurry up and use in my own work.

More than packaging
When I send packages or wrap ceramics for you, I use packaging that is recycled, biodegradable and FSC certified. In addition, I print all my bags myself, with a beautiful hand-cut linoleum print, so they can be used many times.
Follow the process
Jeg arbejde med drejede og håndbygget funktionel keramik, til hverdagsbrug og de særlige stunder. Mine materialer er primært stentøjsler, silkematte glasuroverflader og leret i dets rå form. Jeg er passioneret omkring det traditionelle keramiske håndværk, særligt på grund af den taktile fornemmelse og det udtryk det giver. Jeg er inspireret at naturen, hvilket både kommer til udtryk i mine farvevalg og overflader.
