About SKURET
Skuret is a ceramics workshop established by Anette Leegaard and Alexandru Murar (Muri) in their home in Nexø on Bornholm. Both graduated as ceramists from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and they subsequently chose to stay on Bornholm to dedicate themselves to their shared passion for ceramics. Over the years, they have collaborated with various other potters, designers and factories, gaining valuable experience in many aspects of the ceramic process. Bornholm's ceramic tradition and heritage has naturally become a source of inspiration for Muri and Anette.
The island's wide variety of clay and valuable raw materials have nurtured the craft for generations. Today, they are proud to contribute to the diverse ceramic scene on Bornholm. They are part of a vibrant community of skilled artisans and an inspiring environment that promotes artistic development.
In the workshop, they make both tableware and unique items. Muri turns all her items, while Anette primarily works with casting. Muri and Anette's work has been exhibited both in Denmark and abroad.
Anette Leegaard
Anette's technique consists of casting in molds with porcelain clay. She has an alternative approach to her ceramic work. With so-called 'Prepper ceramics', she tries to adapt her work to an uncertain future characterized by scarcity of resources and materials. Porcelain is usually cast in plaster molds, but through experimentation Anette has replaced the plaster with available materials such as paper, newspapers and fabric that can absorb the liquid from the casting mass. This process has created textures and surfaces that could not be achieved with traditional methods.
The 'prepper objects' are finally fired with glazes and glazes made from local materials. Through these investigations, the idea of self-sufficiency in a ceramic context emerges while expanding Annette's artistic exploration. This journey challenges herself, the material and the conventions of the craft.
Alexandru Murar-Muri
When Muri turns his stoneware jars, he is preoccupied with curves and volumes, tension and the dynamics of centrifugal force. There is a special physical experience in shaping the clay on the wheel. Freehand turning is an instinctive process that allows the organic beauty to emerge almost by itself.
The firing is unpredictable and therefore the results often surprise. Muri uses different types of wood ash in its glazes, each batch with its own unique composition. As a result, no two pots are the same.
The ash unfolds its aesthetic potential during firing, creating surfaces, textures and shades with a unique texture.

At Skuret , Anette and Muri create their utilitarian objects by turning and casting in stoneware and porcelain. Their focus is on functionality and craftsmanship when creating objects for the table and home. Each piece of pottery is simply designed to function and be used every day.
