TERRACOTTA DREAMS
Ceramic artist and Aalto University alumna, Catharina Kajander 1945, has been working with the Finnish earthenware clay as an ecological choise since 1966. With her big coiled works, often decorated with colored clay slips and then burnished, she got the State Craft price when it was given the first time, in 1969. She has studied traditional pottery in Finland and Africa, and worked in brick-pipe factories and many international residencies. As active artist in the community her goal has been to improve the recognition for art and craft. www.ckajander.com
