Studio Friday

“I am curious to see/hear/read who everyone takes their inspiration from - an artist of traditional media, multimedia, craft world, living or dead. Who would we like to have the chance to meet and speak with, or to thank for inspiring us? ”

I would say that one person has inspired me more then some other person when it’s about woodworking and inspiration. Both from meeting him in personally when I have taken three courses for him but also from a book he has written. The book has many nice pictures which is the thing that I appreciate with it. His name is Jögge Sundqvist and he is one of Swedens best woodworkers I would say. At least in the genre his is working in. The thing I appreciate the most is his way of decorate the things he is making and that he isn’t affried of using a lot of colours when he paints the stuff.

One other person that has inspired me a lot when I went on the university was a classmate that was a really talented artist, Niklas. He had many good thougts about creativity, design and life. It should have been nice to have him as a colleague at work I think. It’s sad that I haven’t seen him in two years now, because I always gotten so good ideas when I talked to him. But life goes on, you leave school and start work and don’t see so many of your classmates after that.

Something that I also get inspiration from when I’m woodworking is the nature. There is so many shapes, colours and materials you see just by watch a forest for example. And then I just love the ocean to! If I need to clear my thoughts I like to watch out over the water. Which can be a good thing if I nead new inspiration
