Eva Johanssen

(the life and career of the great ceramic artist)

When Eva Johanssen was a child, all she wanted to do was draw and paint. Her father, Per, wanted Eva to follow in his footsteps and become an engineer. Eva tried to please her father and worked hard at school, but after she had failed her science exams, Eva's father finally allowed her to study art.

At art school, Eva discovered her lifelong passion: ceramics. She had never worked with clay before she started college. However, once she had made her first pots, she realized how much she loved ceramics. The rest, of course, is history. By the end of the 20th century. Eva had sold her works to every major museum of art.
