<p>Bodil Manz has been known as a master of eggshell porcelain for many years now. She studied ceramics at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen, then at the Escuelo de Diseno y Artesanias in Mexico and Berkeley University in California, USA. Bodil was shortlisted as one of the finalists for the LOEWE craft prize 2021.</p> <p>Her cylinders are slip cast porcelain, which she decorated with geometrical patterns on both sides, applied with plain decals. The effect is a pattern on the one side, offset by a shadow of a related pattern on the other. They are so translucent, you can sometimes discern the light passing through them, creating wonderful shadows and drama.</p> <p><strong>In August 2023 we present <em>Bodil Manz at 80</em> as part of our Festival Presentation – <em>Wonder Women</em>. Bodil Manz was the subject of a solo exhibition, <em><a href="url}">The Ceramist</a></em>, as part of our Festival presentation in August 2018.</strong></p>
