Nathalie Krebs - Saxbo stoneware

Nathalie Krebs - Saxbo stentøj

Overview

Craftsman Nathalie Krebs's work with Saxbo stoneware glazes is one of the most significant efforts in modern Danish handicrafts. The film was recorded in the last months before the workshop in Herlev closed permanently in the spring of 1968 and gives a description of what the stoneware demands from the craftsman. Nathalie Krebs (1895-1978) was a chemical engineer and creator of as many stoneware glazes as the entire Chinese Sung period. Palads cinema's prequel to "Det var en lørdag aften" (1968)
