The Funen Art Academy provides a three-year basic programme and a two-year advanced programme.
The programme does not have academic accreditation but follows the European ECTS point system.
Throughout the programme, the students’ own practice accounts for about half of the activity and is evaluated after each semester. The remainder of the 30 study points per semester comes from practice and critique groups and exhibition practice and can be combined by the individual students based on the courses and workshops offered during the given semester.

I meet artist student in in he´s studio.
While many of the students have a screened-off corner in one of the former exhibition halls, Jonathan shares a small room on the top floor with a colleague who rarely uses the space. ‘She lives in Frederiksberg, where she has a studio,’ he explained.
He likes the solitude and spends much of his time here, he told me. Six days a week when he can, for as many hours as possible.

During my visit I learned that to make the most of your precious saffron, you should mix it with a little sugar and soak it in cognac. I did that for my saffon buns back then, but also this year.

However, I have a small amount left, in the back of the fridge.
I also had some left-over cherry sauce from Christmas, a mix of the child-friendly version and the adult version made from cherries that have soaked in cognac for years, as well as a small quantity of marzipan and a couple of egg whites left over from when I recently made mayonnaise!

Using a standard recipe, I mixed 200 g of butter with 250 g of cane sugar.

I blitzed the egg whites, three whole eggs, the saffron mixture and the marzipan in a blender and added the mixture, a little at a time, to the butter/sugar mix.

Then I stirred in 75 g of almond flour, 85 g of wheat flour and 1 tsp of baking powder.

I poured the dough into a (24 cm) springform tin lined with baking paper. Next, I poured the cherry sauce on top, using a fork to prick holes in the surface to let the sauce sink into the dough.

Finally, I baked the cake for one hour at 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).

If you ask me, it was an excellent clear-out-the-fridge cake, well above average, close to perfect, actually!
I served it with creme fraiche mixed with vanilla and cane sugar.

day 9

Between Christmas and New Year 2018, an email from appeared in my inbox.
He wanted to show me a modern chamber candlestick designed by him and produced by

Tips on candlesticks are very welcome, especially in January. Then as now I love the idea of a small, modest candlestick with a handle, which can be easily moved and placed where you need light, on the bedside table or elsewhere, and I love the idea that a chamber candlestick also comes in modern variants.

day 8

Before HÅNDVÆRK bookazine my platform was named SLOWFASHIONhouse –
Back from 2007-2013 SLOWFASHIONhouse was both onlinestore and magazine.

From 2014-2016 SLOWFASHIONhouse was on hold while I was busy doing other things.

From 2016 until 2019 when I published the very first HÅNDVÆRK print bookazine, SLOWFASHIONhouse was reactivated as my online magazine –

day 6

Before the Christmas holidays, several books landed on my desk. I found time to read two of them, both on utilitarian ceramics, in between the holiday events and get-togethers. Follow link in profile to online magazine to read my review

One of the two is “100 års dansk keramik” from Carsten Bagge Laustsen, collector and associate professor of sociology at the Department of Political Science, Aarhus University, the book is published at

In 2020 Laustssen was showing he´s collection + loans from friends and practising ceramic makers and artists at – I have illustrated my review with pictures from back then.

Tage Andersen (born March 29, 1947) is renowned for his imaginative, naturalistic floral arrangements, and interior and exterior designs.
From 2009 to 2019, he transformed the historic estate Gunillaberg in Sweden into his creative sanctuary, welcoming visitors to experience his vision of merging the natural world with his artistic expression.

The photos are from Gunillaberg in Småland, my latest vist was in 2018

Today, the atelier, gallery and boutique at Ny Adelgade 12 in Copenhagen Today, form the framework for his work.

day 2

In my work with Christmas campaign in 2016 fate lead me to northern Funen.

Northern Funen is my childhoods landscape and wonderful it was to revisit places that I had long since forgotten.

The reason for the visit to Nothern Funen was Nicole Mai Nielsen. She was then a law student and she rides Icelandic horses at an international level. Her horse is named Glanni.

Nicole said with much warmth in her voice:
“Glanni is a 13-year Icelandic gelding which I by now have had in 7 years.
Glanni has been a great mentor to me and we have together participated in many world-ranking events.
In my busy life while studying, he manages to always give me a smile, even on a ride in the rain and rough weather at 8 in the morning.
Glanni has left deep traces in me and in spite of my riding being at a level where there is usually a rather frequent replacement of horses he will remain mine forever.”
