Norsk Folkemuseum The Pottery Studio
The Pottery Studio at Norsk Folkemuseum has a long tradition, having been in operation since the 1950s.
Here, functional objects are shaped from soft clay following traditional pottery techniques. The inspiration for colors, decoration, and forms dates back to the 17th century, while new forms and ideas continue to emerge, grounded in practical use and a love of form and functionality. A living craft in continuous development.
The workshop is open from June 1 to August 31, Tuesday to Sunday, and during the museum’s large Christmas Fair.
