I'm so inspired by Fanø

Did you know that Fanø is a beautiful Danish island in the North Sea, known for its wide sandy beaches, dunes, and rich maritime history.
It’s part of the Wadden Sea National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which means the island has a unique ecosystem with diverse wildlife and natural beauty.

Nature on Fanø
    •    Beaches & Sand Dunes: Fanø is famous for its vast, open beaches with fine sand. The tides create fascinating patterns in the sand, which could be great inspiration for ceramic textures.

    •    Seashells & Marine Life: The coastline is rich in seashells, including cockle shells, razor clams, and whelk shells. You might also find pieces of driftwood, seaweed, or even fossilized remains, which could be incorporated into your ceramics for texture or as imprints.

    •    Flora & Fauna: The island has heather-covered moors, pine forests, and salt marshes. Birdlife is abundant, with species like oystercatchers and eider ducks, which might inspire motifs for your designs. Seals are often spotted resting on the sandbanks.
    •    Clay & Natural Materials: Some coastal areas may have natural clay deposits, and you could experiment with local materials for glazes or textures. Sand and ground seashells can also be added to clay to create unique surfaces.
