There's a section of Hegdehaugsveien consisting of only a couple of blocks right by the SAS hotell at Holbergs plass, that has a totally different atmosphere than the busy shopping street most people know. It makes out a small, peaceful world of its own I feel, and here you find Embla ceramics, shop and workshop for the four artists Siw Heier, Diddi Videsjorden, Anne Udnes and Monika Wojtkiewicz. When I walked by the shop som days ago, I was struck by a glimpse of warm, golden light behind the windows, and instantly felt I had to go inside.
This vase by Diddi Videsjorden catches some of that shining light, but when I came in I realised that it was the clear, soft colour and golden glow from a large bowl she has made that had reeled me in.
She generously gave me carte blanche to take photos for sygnazeit, but typically I discovered that the battery in my camara was flat. So I came back later, in the evening, as it got dark.As you probably have noticed, the dark and the mirror images that it invites is a favourite of mine. I think it suited these sculptured womens heads by Siw Heier.
Also Anne Udnes sculpts heads. To me this one has a particularily peaceful beauty. 
This one portrays her daughter, I was told by Diddi. 
Cups in a basket makes a fine mix of patterns.
Two vases by Diddi. 
Monika Wojtkiewicz studied fashion sewing at the Academy of Visual Arts in Poznan, Poland, her home country. She also studied engineering in the protection of the environment in Wroclaw. Onle quite recently has she taken up pottery. She made this enigmatic mask. 
You'll find Embla ceramics in Hegdehaugsveien 14, somewhat hidden in a world of its own, peacefull like the workshops and burning room in the cellar under the shop.
