Ninna says of her work, “I like my pots to be harmonious and simplistic - because I then have the freedom to play with them. Make one lean one way, have an unusual detail one another.

 "My work is wheel thrown and turned with high precision. I love the symmetry of the wheel and the ability it gives me to control shape and form. I use a very fine clay with no added grog. After turning I burnish the clay surface until the surface is completely smooth.
The shapes I love to make most are round, like the traditional clay containers made in the rural parts of Africa...

 The inspiration for my work comes mostly from the coastline and countryside around my studio. Ideas for forms are often derived from things that I pick up on the beach. Shells, bits of wood, plastic bottles, in fact just about anything. I walk a great deal and usually find things in the hedgerows to inspire me. I love natural forms like insects, seeds and berries...
