Anna Kukielka and I are traveling buddies and this time we went on a local bus trip to Ørslev Church located @ 20 minutes out of Skælskør. It has murals that date back to 1300 and was probably the loveliest church I’ve seen in Europe (and I’ve seen a few…). Anna took professional photos as inspiration for her current work as 1 of 12 project network members here at Guldagergaard. It was a nice escape from the studio and a chance to enjoy sun and blue skies. We have all been busy making. It was nice to take some time out of the studios and check out the local landscape and experience an amusing bumpy bus ride with our lady bus driver.
Anna and I also caught up with one of Denmark’s well known ceramicists – Nina Hole. We had tea/lint pastries (special pastries eaten during lent) and saw her amazing studio. Nina and Larry designed twin studios under ground to maximize insulation but also obtain amazing views from a lower perspective. Their home is very old – @ 300 years and they managed to preserve part of the building with minor changes. But anyone over 6ft would not cope with the low ceilings.
So, here is a gallery of photos from a day to remember. Thanks Anna for your skillful organising of bus routes, catching up with Nina and of course your company.
