Artistic Inspiration for Teapot Project: Anne Mette Hjortshøj

Anne Mette Hjortshøj is a ceramic artist in Denmark. I used on of her sets from a February 2013 issue of Ceramics monthly as inspiration, seen below:

The goal for the look of my project is to use black wax resist and glazing to create a similar surface decoration. Hjortshøj uses the wheel and stoneware clays to create her pieces and glazes them with unique patterns. The natural shape, color, and aesthetics of her pieces were the basis for my ideas for my project, to create a simple but unique tea set. I used a different process to create the handle of my teapot but I plan to use these ideas for surface decoration as the next step in the process. 

Here is second tea set created by Hjortshøj:
