Erna Aaltonen crafts her distinctive ceramic vessels with a sophisticated method, where thin, ribbon-like strips of clay are meticulously joined. The vessels’ circular and sculptural forms are integral to her artistic expression.

She then finishes her work by gently scratching the surface, layering it with successive coats of clay slip. This detailed technique, blended with her study of color interplay and artistic design, evoke a sense of harmony and natural elegance. The surfaces exhibit a unique and visually compelling result.
