ABOUT THE ARTIST

Maja’s approach to art is minimalistic, simple and unique. Before finding her way to ceramics Maja explored her creative side drawing that later grew into painting with watercolors. Maja’s other love is travel and she carries her minimal approach there as well. She soon found out that simply having a notepad and a few pens in her backpack was a perfect setup for indulging her creative side on the road. After moving from Denmark to Charlottesville, VA her search for community led her to ceramics. She fell in love instantly. Today she continues to expand her skills in the ceramic world creating unique pieces and getting her hands dirty.

ABOUT MY WORK

All my pieces are unique, handmade pieces so they may vary in shape and size. I love to freestyle and to not have a plan when I sit down in front of the wheel or when making handbuild pieces. It’s my free space and I try not to control the outcome. I love making both wheel thrown pieces and handbuild pieces using a coiling or pinching technique for a more organic unique look.
