Crafts

Trapholt’s collection of ceramics and textiles was originally defined in relation to the jar and the carpet, respectively. The ceramics collection shows a wide range of major ceramicists such as Axel Salto, Thorvald Bindesbøll, and Bodil Manz.

In collaboration with craftsmen and designers, Trapholt establishes community involvement projects aimed at adding works to the collection. The goal is to create works on a larger scale, where the participants’ skills and interest in handicrafts are combined with an artist at the forefront.
