DescriptionDescription: With Hårfagre, Gustaf Nordenskiöld criticized a romantic image of potters living in the country, digging for their own clay, finding inner peace at the potter’s wheel, and creating perfect glazes. Nordenskiöld himself has not even touched the clay. Instead, he formed it in an extruder, which is used to make handles, and let the snake-like sausages form by chance. He finished it by binding it with a commercially made climbing rope.
