Infatuated with pottery
- • Kristine wants to add playfulness to the local ceramic tradition
- • A decorative aspect is always present in her work
- • She finds inspiration in nature, Art Nouveau and flea market finds
Kristine Thenman discovered clay at the age of 14, when she joined her sister on a pottery course. She became ecstatic about the material, its texture and mouldability, and still describes her relationship to it as an infatuation. Today, after a master's in ceramic art from the Academy of Art and Design in Gothenburg, she lives and works in the northern town of Arvika. Decoration is a central part of her work, and besides plates, bowls and candle holders, she makes clever and quirky pieces of ceramic wall decoration, clocks, lamps and edgings. The region around Arvika has a long tradition of ceramic craftsmanship. Kristine seeks inspiration in that tradition, as well as in nature, Art Nouveau and flea market finds, while always trying to inject a sense of playfulness.
