NEW WORKSHOP
FACILITIES
In the wake of the devastating fire that burned down the old workshop building in December 2023, we’ve embarked on an ambitious endeavor to resurrect the facilities.
Today stands a professional temporary workshop spanning 220 square meters. Fully equipped with state-of-the-art ceramic apparatus and a kiln park, which has been fully operational since the beginning of February 2024.
We anticipate that the new permanent workshop building will be reconstructed by the Slagelse Municipality over the course of 2025.
GULDAGERGAARD 3.0
CERAMIC ART INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY
The efforts of the team were set into motion the day after the fire of 2023 to manifest a new chapter – “Guldagergaard 3.0” – which is now beginning to unfold.
Guldagergaard remains dedicated to nurturing the symbiotic relationship between cutting-edge technology, creativity, community, and the natural world. And Guldagergaard 3.0 will continue to focus on innovation while championing sustainability practices within the profession.
Despite the setback in 2023, Guldagergaard remains steadfast in its commitment to international collaboration and experimenting within the ceramic field, and will continue to serve the realm of ceramic art, craft, and design.
Moreover Guldagergaard 3.0 also aims to engage a wider audience with its concept of Claytopia, which is gradually taking shape.
CLAYTOPIA
A VIBRANT CULTURAL VENUE
Claytopia is Guldagergaard’s initiative geared towards engaging the public, offering a unique space within the beautiful park surrounding Guldagergaard.
Among Claytopia’s activities are outdoor art exhibitions, concerts, discussion salons, and a design boutique.
It is our ambition to further develop Claytopia, and we are already well underway in crafting a vision that can elevate Claytopia to new heights.
IMPROVE YOUR
CERAMIC SKILLS
An important goal at Guldagergaard is to provide artists with the possibility of working with different materials and methods on several projects all at the same time.
When artists have the chance to work in a professional environment, exchange knowledge and experience with other artists within the ceramic field, and start inspirational collaborations the professional skills of the artists improve.
