OKNYTT CERAMICS

Oknytt Ceramics are sculptural and functional pieces inspired by Scandinavian nature and London life. Swedish ceramicist Hanna Salomonsson grew up close to the untamed forests of Småland (southern Sweden). Her ceramic practice explores this enchanted natural world in clay, and also probes the way in which our natal landscapes are imbued with emotions and fleeting memories. Echoes of the gnarly branches, moss covered boulders and bottomless bogs of the southern Swedish woodlands can be distinguished in her pieces, and often these traces are paired with glimmers of urban wilderness found in decaying London surfaces, structures and spaces.

Hanna established Oknytt Ceramics in 2020. Her work is high fired stoneware produced using a range of techniques such as coiling, slab construction and various carving methods.

Hanna has a background in sculpture and art history, and received her ceramic training at City Lit, London. She is also a chartered Landscape Architect with many years experience of designing public and private spaces. Several of her design projects incorporate bespoke artwork elements, and her landscape grounding provides a unique vantage point for her ceramic practice.
