BIOGRAPHY: BJØRN WIINBLAD

english

Apparently, multi-artist Bjørn Wiinblad is gifted with a sparkling fantasy putting him in the position to create exuberant masterpieces of ceramics, which during the years have enthused people across the globe. T is no doubt about his significant position within the decorative art and craftwork. His design is strongly personal and often has a touch of Oriental inspiration.
In 1998, when Bjørn Wiinblad celebrated his 80 birthday, the exhibition place Sophienholm in Lyngby north of the Danish capital Copenhagen dedicated a special exhibition to his works through time. For the exhibition a catalogue with text written by Bjørn Wiinblad himself was published.
A peculiar tradition in Wiinblad's family was that the youngsters usually got an education as typesetter, only to find out which line of business they would actually choose later in life. 17 years old Wiinblad followed this tradition and became a typesetters apprentice in 1935.

This shall be seen contrary to the artists seeking perfection in one specific area.
As a fresh educated typesetter Bjørn Wiinblad joined the school of graphics at the Academy of Art with the aim to become an illustrator. A coincidental meeting with a fellow student changed this plan. The student took Wiinblad to a ceramics workshop w he was invited to decorate a newly thrown clay bowl. "I never forget the moment, I took the cow's horn in my hand and started to decorate - it was big and fortunate moment. When I left the workshop, I knew that I had experienced something special", Bjørn Wiinblad writes in the above mentioned catalogue.
At this time, his preferred work became the decoration of large bowls with cow horn paint, w after pottery tradition clay colour was applied directly on the potsherd.
