Ivan Weiss' ceramics
Ivan Weiss, born in 1946, is a renowned Danish ceramicist. At the age of sixteen, he began his training as an overglaze painter at the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory, where he studied from 1962 to 1966. Under the mentorship of artistic director Nils Thorsson, Ivan gained profound knowledge and expertise in the field of ceramics.
From 1970 to 1972, he continued his studies in Hagi, Japan, where he refined his skills in throwing bowls and firing ceramics. Upon returning to Denmark, he resumed his role as a ceramicist at Royal Copenhagen, working closely with Nils Thorsson and creating ceramics in a dedicated studio until 2004. Since then, Ivan has worked as a freelance artist for Royal Copenhagen and has been a guest lecturer at the Danish Design School.
