This film features ceramic artist Nina Malterud. In this studio visit, she talks about her making practice, including how she has moved from an emphasis on making patterns, to giving the glazes the opportunity to form patterns themselves through the process. She also talks about her upcoming solo exhibition, opening at KODE Art Museums and Composer Homes in Bergen 2022. The exhibition will be partly retrospective but mainly show works from recent years, and cover 750 m2.
