Discover more about Boserup Keramik
A countryside ceramics studio in East Jutland
Hidden along Overby Skovvej outside the village of Hovedgård, Boserup Keramik is a small pottery studio and shop set in the gently rolling farmland of Østjylland. Here, ceramicist Katrine Boserup Jensen works at a modest scale, turning clay into everyday objects and sculptural pieces that reflect both Danish design traditions and the surrounding landscape. The setting is quiet and unhurried, and the studio feels more like a creative hideaway than a conventional shop. Inside, shelves and simple displays hold a rotating collection of stoneware. Glazes run from deep Nordic blues and blue-greens to softer, muted tones, and many pieces carry subtle variations that reveal their handmade origin. Rather than mass-produced sets, the emphasis is on unique items, each with its own small irregularities and personality.Handmade cups, vases and sculptural pieces
The core of Boserup Keramik’s output is functional stoneware: robust cups with handles, jugs, and vases designed to be used every day. The clay is shaped and fired on site, with glazes selected to complement the forms rather than overpower them. Cups are sized for coffee or tea, with comfortable handles and tactile surfaces, while vases range from miniature bud vases to taller, more sculptural forms. Alongside the tableware, you will often find small sculptures and artistic pieces. These might be abstract forms, stylised figures or organic shapes inspired by nature. They bring a gallery-like dimension to the studio, inviting you to see the possibilities of clay beyond pure function.Atmosphere of a working artisan workshop
What distinguishes Boserup Keramik from a typical retail space is its character as a working studio. Depending on timing, you may glimpse tools, wheels and freshly thrown pieces drying on shelves. This behind-the-scenes feel gives a sense of the time and skill behind each finished mug or vase, from wedging and shaping to glazing and firing. The atmosphere is informal and personal. Pieces are arranged so you can pick them up, feel their weight and texture, and compare different glazes side by side. The setting encourages slow browsing and conversation about form, colour and technique, making it easy to connect the objects on the shelf with the craft that produced them.Danish ceramic tradition with a personal touch
Denmark has a long history of ceramics, from classic studio pottery to contemporary design. Boserup Keramik sits within that tradition while maintaining a distinctly individual style. The forms tend toward clean lines and practical proportions, yet there is room for play in the glazes, surface details and sculptural experiments. Because production is small-scale, pieces often feel like one-off discoveries. Limited numbers mean glazes can be tried in new combinations, and forms can evolve with each firing. For visitors interested in design and craft, the studio offers an intimate look at how a single maker interprets broader Scandinavian design ideas in clay.Choosing a meaningful piece to take home
Visiting Boserup Keramik is as much about the experience as the purchase. The rural location and small studio invite you to slow down and consider what you bring home. A single cup can become a morning ritual object; a small vase may hold seasonal flowers; a sculptural piece can anchor a shelf or windowsill. Prices reflect artisan production, but many smaller items remain accessible, making it easy to find a gift or souvenir that feels both personal and practical. Because the stock changes as new work comes from the kiln, returning visitors are likely to encounter new colours, forms and ideas on each visit.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
