| Birthe Flexner |
How is it that some of the best potters are not more internationally recognised?! One of my favourite potters, and one of the most talented, is Birthe Flexner. I met her through my good friend, Judith Wagenseller, owner of the House of Clay in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA.

Birthe did a workshop at the House of Clay and her way of combining thrown and slab elements, her glazing techniques, and her work with soft slabs is the basis for what I see many potters doing today. She was a woman ahead of her time!!

Birthe is from Denmark and was greatly influenced by the Danish Design Movement of the ’50s.

Her work is some of the best in the business!
I can see why you like her work. The lidded container and the jugs are wonderful..
She was definitely ahead of her time, lovely work.
Thank you for sharing! It’s the first I heard of her. Her work is lovely!!
