Janne Hieck Master Potter (Germany / Denmark) Después de formarse en su país natal, Alemania, Janne Hieck viaja en 2005 al norte de Dinamarca donde ampliará sus conocimientos como asistente de Gregory Miller. Actualmente, afincada en Dinamarca, es una artista emergente cuya obra personal hay que tener en cuenta. Un trabajo que se enmarca dentro de la llamada alfarería de estudio actual, dentro de la especialidad del gres esmaltado con sal y la cocción de leña. Un trabajo creativo y bien hecho que se define con su sello personal a través de formas sencillas (fuertes y escuetas), en perfecta armonía con el proceso. Cerámica utilitaria, de piezas únicas, para disfrutar de la vida diaria o las celebraciones; obras hechas con mucho talento y que translucen el amor al oficio. (Mª J.
