Hans and Birgitte Borjeson

After training in the 1950s in Sweden and Denmark respectively Hans and Birgitte Borjeson worked for Harry and May Davis at Crowan Pottery in Devon.  This was an important influence on their practice and in 1963 they set up their own pottery in Denmark making domestic stoneware. Since the 1980s they have specialised in salt-glazing.  Over the years their work has moved increasingly towards special commissions and individually decorated pieces but the potter’s wheel remains at the core of the making process.
