It turned out to be a little to shallow for the particular tree so we are offering this amazing pot for sale. Edition: April 2017 “Thaw”. Det som göms i snö, kommer fram vid tö, is a Swedish saying that means Whats hidden in the snow will be revealed when it thaws. Inside and under the snow there is colours from dirt, dust and soil. Iron, ocra and brown hues that melts together with the snow into a unique pallet. Although spring has come a long way for most, it is only now that it releases the grip of the north. For months, the cold has kept the land in captivity and when it releases it´s grip, man, animal and nature awakens again.. This edition is a tribute and a goodbye to winter. See you soon again my friend.

Like most potters Thor Holvila began by making pots for his own trees. He started making pots for others in 2008. He graduated from Achillerska Art School in 1989, Thors father was a judo instructor and a goldsmith who taught him how to appreciate Japanese art and tradition, as well as the simplicity and stubbornness that was already in his childhood. Technology and the knowledge of kilns he received when he was an apprentice under-potter to Paula Lindors (Pioneer in the Swedish raku technique) As all good teaches she would question everything he did and above all she got him to work with larger sizes. She made him dare to put small tea pots aside and to build and think big. The only limitation is the size of the kiln. When making bonsai pots Thor likes to stick with simplicity, he stays with old techniques, simple tools and a few quality materials. This way he stays with in tradition and has a relationship with the original classical forms through tools and execution, while he inevitably puts him self into what he creates. Thor mixes most of his own glazes. Most of the time he stays with a simple palette, with just a few glazes and oxides and some different clays. The combinations and results are endless. Thor builds his pots by hand using slab, coil, and pinching techniques only. Unlike most people Thor prefers to wotk with clay when it is very soft. He used four local stoneware clays, Yellow clay from Skane, Black Lava clay from Bohuslan, Tile red and bone white clay from Denmark. Collection can be arranged by appointment.
