Tomas Gramming
Tomas is a very talented artist, sculptor, and potter from Gothenburg, Sweden. He works full time as a clay-modeller for Volvo, and so unfortunately does not have as much time as he would like for his passion of making bonsai pots.
Gramming pots are therefore only produced in limited numbers, and in each he invests a lot of time and dedication into producing high quality pots with interesting designs. Each pot is unique, and some are fired in a wood-fired ‘Ittagama’ kiln that Tomas built himself. These kilns can give extraordinary results from the glazes, unattainable with gas or electric kilns. The adored glazes of the legendary Heian Tofukuji were created in a wood kiln - although an ‘Anagama’ – a climbing wood-fired kiln, which are now banned in Japan due to environment concerns.
The pots produced by Gramming Pots includes all shapes, sizes and finishes. Tomas’ skill at engraving, carving, and pot forming is superb!
