Stefan Andersson

Leading a fresh generation of Swedish potters is independent maker Stefan Anderson. Well studied in the history and heritage of the craft, Stefan is able to pull references from the past and combine these with his new techniques to provide his own contribution to the field.

We discovered Stefan's work through a previous exhibition where he experimented with a great number of different kilns, be it gas, electric, wood, or his own invention which recycles used vegetable oil. His ingenuity and willingness to question the typical process really inspired both of us.

The collection you see below is the resulting firing effect of Stefan's oil kiln having previously thrown each item on the wheel. We have two separate objects at this moment in time, one with a celadon type glaze and another white glaze made from clay slip and wood ash.
