We have a bit of a thing for objects that have been lovingly hand-crafted – after all, how lovely it feels to hold something that is truly unique. A table set with tumbled linen, handmade plates and blown glassware will immediately feel understated and yet special. For gorgeous tableware that encapsulates this aesthetic, we need look no further than the work of Danish ceramicist Stine Dulong, who swapped life as a city lawyer for what she calls ‘a more earthy and meaningful path’ as a full-time ceramicist.
Working from her London studio, Stine now creates hand-built and thrown pieces which are sometimes speckled or striped, and always feature beautiful glazes and colours, many of which are inspired by her homeland. Stine reuses materials wherever possible and makes many of her pieces using reclaimed waste clay from her students to minimise the impact on the world around her.
It's no wonder that Stine’s work has attracted the attention of top chefs – such as Nigella Lawson, Tom Kerridge and Jamie Oliver – along with designers of fashionable establishments such as the Nobu Hotel in Shoreditch, who commissioned her to create forty Sake bottles – each one a little different from the next.
If you fancy having a go yourself, take a look at Stine's website for details of the classes that she runs throughout the year; we quite fancy the ‘Make your own planter’ course which runs over two Saturday afternoons in September. Visit the SkandiHus website to find out more.
