Training
I started my ceramic career as an apprentice to Gunnar Nylund,
a ceramic designer and sculptor. I received my formal ceramic
training in England at the North Staffordshire Polytechnic,
Stoke-on-Trent (71 - 75) and in the US at MIT, Boston and Rutgers
University, New Brunswick (77 -
79). I worked in the laboratory - and studio departments of Rörstrand
Ltd, the largest Swedish
ceramic tableware-manufacturer for ten years before I set up
my own studio together with my wife Suzanne Öhlén
in 1986. We both work full-time as ceramic artists.
Most of my work is woodfired, (saltglazed)
stoneware; utilitarian ware, tiles for floors, walls and
murals, but also sculptural work.
Take on consultancy-jobs as teaching,
course-administrator and leader, text-book writing, etc to
make ends meet, both economically and socially.
I´m a member of a number of professional institutions and cooperatives; Lerverk (a craft-potters cooperative in Gothenburg), Center for Art & Craft in Stockholm , The Swedish Ceramic Society.
Exibitions
Since the mid 80´s I have participated in a large number
of group-exibitions in and around Sweden. I have also during
the same time had a number of solo-performances at various galleries.
Currently involved with an exibition/installation-project "Tidvatten"
("Tide") with a painter, a composer and a writer.
