• Ida creates ceramic sculptures and objects loaded with symbolism
• She is fascinated by the idea of shaping clay with her hands
• Her pieces are influenced by the location they are exhibited in

Ida Netterberg's fascination with the creative process itself led her to become a ceramicist. Hooked by the possibility of shaping materials to her liking, she started her journey with a course in silversmithing. Then, Ida discovered clay and its endless potential, and decided she would study ceramics instead. “What I love about clay is that I can shape it with my bare hands, no tools required. There is no distance between me and the material, which creates a directness that I really enjoy,” she says. The other aspect of ceramics that Ida appreciates is its versatility. “You can easily spend a lifetime investigating ceramic techniques and still master just a small part of its world,” she says. And indeed, Ida's creations reflect this versatility, from her everyday objects to her one-of-a-kind sculptural pieces.
