Hanna has used thick and fluid transparent glazes to create a sense of depth in this opaque white circular plate. To accentuate this depth and the degree of relief, she made rings of clay which she piled on top of each other and then fused during firing, using a significant quantity of glaze.

Exploring endless possibilities
- • Hanna's studio is in an old chocolate factory
- • Water, forests and trees are recurring themes in her work
- • Her works capture the pale light and cold colours of Sweden
Hanna Järlehed Hyving trained in ceramics at the University of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg, and is still based in the city. Her work revolves around her interest in ceramics’ many forms of expression. She mixes stoneware and porcelain clay, which she then forms freely. She usually works with transparent glazes in thick layers, which she fires in a combined electric and gas kiln. “I love it that clay has endless possibilities, but that it also gives a lot of resistance and challenges. The smallest change I make in the choice of materials or in the way I work leads to new unforeseen consequences.”

Archipelago
The idea for this green-glazed closed urn came about when Hanna created a series of works for an exhibition inspired by Swedish artist John Bauer (1882–1918). The urns were freestanding to represent forest ponds or to look like they had been cut from watercourses.

To accentuate this depth and the degree of relief, she made rings of clay that she piled on top of each other and then fused during firing, using a significant quantity of glaze.
