WHAT IS BALTIC WOODFIRED? | |||||
Baltic Wood Fired started out as a Master course in experiential leadership. The module was called “Innovation in networking, marketing and branding”. In 2008, Anne Mette took part in a module in that course. Cassius Clay became a case study worked on by tree students. When working on the assignment, discussions became very intense. The values of craftsmanship for a craftsman are not always that easy to put in words. Now they had to be clarified and sometimes even defended. The other two students in the group realized that it is not called “working” as a craftsman , but “being” a craftsman. Therefore, when discussing the company Cassius Clay, it became clear that they were actually discussing both Anne Mette and Ann-Charlotte’s life. This included discussions on values that are embedded in the choices and methodologies of wood firing.Baltic Wood Fired was held for the first time in 2008at Gallery 2’rn in Åkirkeby, Bornholm. This exhibition focused on the story of how wood firing is not just any way to fire your ceramics. Rather it is the firing technique that is preferred to voice an artistic expression. In 2009 we held the Baltic Wood Fired event again. This time, it was focused on the involvement of a number of recognized and talent woodfire-ceramists. The public was invited to attend open workshops, demonstrations and exhibitions featuring works brought along and made in the workshops at Cassius clay, futher exposing the public to the artists and their process. | |||||
