Our amazing teachers at KERAMIKEN!
We are proud of all the talent under one roof.
Ellinor Persdotter
Ellinor recently returned home after working as a ceramicist in London. There she started as an apprentice at Ceramic Sculpture Studios and then went on to become Head Technician and teacher at Turning Earth Ceramics.
Her speciality is wheel-thrown functional ware and sculptural candlesticks – often expressed through the natural texture of the clay and experimental glazing and firing techniques.
As well as ceramics, Ellinor is a trained musical theatre performer, so expect lots of music!
Moa Tevren
After Moa finished her studies at Kaospiloterne (project management) in Denmark, she felt a longing to create more with her hands.
She started throwing, and then she was hooked. After doing ceramics for a while, she now wants to develop further and is currently studying ceramics at Vårdinge Folk High School.
“I mostly work with throwing and functional ware, but I also enjoy hand-building. I’m very inspired by everyday objects, and right now I especially enjoy taking small things and turning them into large-scale sculptures – for example, making a match on a large scale. But in the end, what I enjoy most about ceramics is the process itself – testing and watching things emerge, it might turn out great!”
Filip Arvas
Filip spent two years at the art school Idun Lovén’s sculpture programme and also has a degree in art history from Stockholm University.
“I mainly focus on throwing and mostly make functional ceramics. My studio is in Gamla Enskede, which I share with my mum, who was also the one who first taught me to throw many years ago!
I spent spring 2025 in Japan, where I gained lots of inspiration from traditional techniques and knowledge from the ceramicists I met there. My dream is to one day build my own Japanese wood-fired kiln!”
Lena Mäcs
Designer Lena Mäcs freelanced for many years as a designer for both Swedish and international fashion companies, having trained in fashion at Beckmans College of Design.
But in 2017 she began her ceramics training at Leksand Folk High School, and today she works as a full-time ceramicist.
Lena’s visual language is direct and intuitive as she creates her beautiful tactile pieces, where millimetres, proportions and the final finish are of the utmost importance. Her main technique is throwing, but elements of sculpture also feature.
