Magic Maiken Keramik

Ceramic Works Inspired by the Nature of Thy

Maiken was born and raised in the Faroe Islands and has since spent her adult life in Hanstholm, Thy.

Drawing inspiration from the nature of Thy and the relationship between nature and culture, Maiken creates delicate, detailed, and often humorous ceramic works. Her ceramics reflect both the beauty and the roughness found in the landscape around Hanstholm, expressed through elements such as bladderwrack, cotton buds and other washed-up debris, sea buckthorn, chanterelles, and rose hips.

Maiken produces ceramics that, while functional for everyday use, are also beautiful as decorative pieces, combining character and charm – such as her "eternal candle," which withstands even the fierce westerly winds.
