Join gallery owner Mike Goldmark in conversation with celebrated Danish potter Anne Mette Hjortshøj. Broadcasting live from the tiny island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, Anne Mette Hjortshøj began her career in ceramics with a student apprenticeship to fellow potter Phil Rogers in 1998. Rogers has said that he was apprehensive before he met her; with her arrival, however, he knew instinctively that Anne Mette was not only humble and attentive but greatly talented, displaying inner strength and determination that will ensure a long and creative career.
Anne Mette talks about her first contact with Mike and Goldmark Gallery, her time with Phil Rogers and meeting the Queen of Denmark. She shares her philosophies on potting and the life of a potter and shows us some of her new work fresh from her wood fired kiln.
