Potters on Langeland

The large quantities of clay in Langeland’s soil have helped to ensure that the pottery trade has flourished on the island – in the 1970s, there were several large pottery factories. To this day, potters continue to thrive on Langeland.

Lars Calmar, from Humble, with his grotesque figures – drawn in blue BicPen or crafted in ceramic – stands in stark contrast to Anette Valstrøm, from Tullebølle, whose more refined ceramic works evoke memories with human features.
