This jug and vase were completely handmade from stoneware and decorated with blue patterns. Anna tends to include quite a few patterns and drawings throughout her work and appreciates that her lines are not always the same length or may be crooked. She finds that this distinguishes her work from the 'perfection' of machine-made repetition and also allows her to imbue her ceramic pieces with a sense of how she was feeling in the particular moment she made them.

This jug was handmade from stoneware and decorated with black slip biscuit. Anna creates her designs in the manner that feels most natural at the time, so the lines on this jug are not all the same length and are a bit crooked. “For me that gives character to a piece and makes it more unique. If all my pieces were to look perfect and machine-made, for me they would not carry my soul,” she says.

The handle of this stoneware jug decorated with coloured slip has been finished with porcelain and sari fabric details. Being half Portuguese and half Swedish, Anna feels her work balances the minimalistic feel of Scandinavian design with the warm colours of the south. “As a person I feel the mixture of both cultures in me, so it would be impossible for my work not to reflect that.”

This stoneware teapot has been decorated with blue slip and finished with glass beads and fabric. The lines on the pot are not completely regular: “For me that gives character to a piece and makes it more unique. If all my pieces were to look perfect and machine-made, for me they would not carry my soul,” says Anna. She is very sensitive to colours, and colour combinations are an important part of her work.
