Thomas Salzer

Thomas throws functional ware from Swedish, Danish, Dutch, and English stoneware clays. His glazes contain wood ash from kitchen stoves and fireplaces, which gives life and color to the glaze surface, while also varying depending on where the clay is dug up and what type of wood is burned. In the wood-fired kiln, he lets the flames and the fire have the final say, with 12 hours of intense firing leaving clear traces of hot flames and molten ash on the unglazed outer parts of the pots.

TEXT

He has been working with clay since his teenage years, first as an apprentice to his mother, and then with potters in various studios in Sweden and the USA. Since 2025, he has been supplying restaurant ware to The Winery Hotel in Solna, Restaurang Bleck in Stockholm, Hellas Storstugan in Nacka, Djursholm Country Club, and Restaurang Regi in Arvika. His ceramics are also featured at the Rackstad Museum. Thomas' hope is to create someone's favorite tea mug or breakfast bowl, one that can bring function and joy for years to come.
