the studio

anne black started out in copenhagen in the late 1990s, working from collective studios. in 2005, she moved into her own space — the studio that still frames her work today.

the first hand-thrown tealight holders set a direction: minimal in form, soft in glaze colors, part of a renewed nordic aesthetic in ceramics at the time.

as demand grew, a workshop partnership was established in vietnam. hand throwing was no longer a living practice there and anne reintroduced the craft — training a team to work to the same standards as in her copenhagen studio. more than two decades later, the collaboration continues on the same principles.

this year marks 20 years in her copenhagen studio and 20 years in the collaboration with the workshop in vietnam (2005–2025). two studios, equally essential: the same method — an insistence on the work of the hand.
