Tone von Krogh

Tone von Krogh

Tone von Krogh was born in Switzerland, but spent most of her childhood in Norway. Her fascination with clay started early. She used to dig in the clay rich soil in our garden in a suburb to Oslo and shape it into small wobbly bowls and cups before drying them in the sunshine. As a teenager she took the interest further and took up ceramic evening classes where she was introduced to throwing. The techniques she learned here are still part of her own teaching today. Tone went on to study Product Design with ceramics specialization at Hogskolen i Akershus, avdeling Blaker. After a short apprenticeship during the summer months in the pottery at the Norwegian Folk Museum in Oslo, she came to England in 1994 on an Exhange programme with Manchester Metropolitan University and graduated in 3D Design in 1995.
