Anemone is a flower struggling to break through the frozen ground. It is a hand thrown porcelain vase, draped with thrown rings. The top is made of coloured porcelain, the colour changes to bluish grey and black, the closer you get to the hand build feet.

The beauty of error
- • Ninna creates useful art pieces from porcelain clay
- • She is inspired by memories, changing light and the history of the material
- • She opened her workshop Formuleret in 2007
Ninna Gøtzsche is a Danish artisan who creates useful art from porcelain clay. Ninna uses local materials such as black sand from the North Sea, while gathering inspiration from nature; especially the changing light during the different seasons and weather, may it be the Spring sunlight or the sky just before a thunderstorm. “I like to work with the mistakes that might appear in the making. I let the mistake get a centre story and placement in the final piece. For me, it is interesting to make the crooked convincing. It’s in these details that beauty lies.” Ninna's art has been exhibited in Chicago, London, Copenhagen and New York after her graduation from the School of Glass and Ceramics in Bornholm in 2004. In 2007, Ninna opened her workshop gallery in Aarhus, Denmark named Formuleret.

Tektonics
Tektonics is inspired by the way the tectonic plates meet and make mountains on Earth. It is made in hand thrown porcelain, with hand built feet. The surface is cut and distorted with a knife. The brown colour on the worked surface is a thin layer of stoneware clay on top of the porcelain clay.

Uncultivated breakthrough
The surface of the tall, green vase has been worked and cut in with a knife. Holes have been cut through the surface, revealing an inner, open space. Inside is an extra, whole vase. The vase is made in hand thrown porcelain.

Uncultivated Breakthrough
The rounded jar has a classical form, but the surface is worked, cut in and scraped, leaving a changing lively surface with holes in it. The holes reveal the inner space of the jar, but inside is an extra, complete vase, so the jar is still useful. The colours changes from white, light blue and grey to black.

North sea vase
The rim of the vase is uneven, because the vase is made of recycled, badly wedged porcelain clay. Ninna uses what is normally seen as a failure in the throwing, as a feature and expression. Near the top rim of the porcelain vase is black sand collected from the North Sea.
