A Considered Selection of Art and Objects

Ebba von Wachenfeldt is a Swedish glass artist based at her own Skeppsta glass studio in Sörmland, which she founded in 1995.

She trained at the Orrefors Glass School (1983–84) and later at the Penland School of Arts and Crafts in North Carolina, USA (1987). Her early career included experience at glass studios across England, the United States, Japan, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, shaping a practice rooted in both Scandinavian tradition and international craft dialogue.

Von Wachenfeldt’s work is represented in major museum collections including Ebeltoft Glasmuseum and Bornholms Kunstmuseum (Denmark), the Museum of American Glass (USA), the Museum of Design and Applied Art (Iceland), and Smålands Museum in Växjö, Sweden.

Alongside her studio practice, she has undertaken significant public commissions, including an altar cross for Oscar’s Little Church in Stockholm, a Last Supper ensemble for Fröstuna Parish in Gnesta, and reliefs for hospitals in Örebro and Eskilstuna.

She has exhibited widely in both solo and group exhibitions internationally, with presentations in the Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, Belgium, England and across Sweden, reflecting a career of sustained international recognition within contemporary glass art.

A signed sculpture on plinth, by Swedish artist Rita Lillemor Hedelin (B.1946).

Rita Lillemor Hedelin works in tempera with motifs taken from childhood experiences, executed as memory sheets, like book pages, where the image reflects a felt feeling and icons executed on stones, which are picked at special places.

Tempera is a permanent, fast-drying painting medium where pigments are mixed with a water-soluble binder, most traditionally egg yolk, but also including other natural gums or modern synthetic resins. It is used on porous surfaces like wood, canvas, and paper, and the resulting paint film is water-resistant, with a matte finish. Tempera can refer to both the paint and the artwork created with it, and it is used by both historical masters and contemporary artists.

Thomas Hellström (1924–2006) was a leading figure in 20th-century Swedish ceramics, working within the Nordic tradition of warm, expressive, and subtly humorous design.

After studying at Konstfack in Stockholm, he spent nearly five decades at the historic Nittsjö factory, one of Sweden’s most important ceramic workshops, renowned for its handcrafted stoneware rooted in folk tradition and everyday domestic forms. There, Hellström became celebrated for his animal figures, distinguished by softly rounded silhouettes and gentle, good-natured expressions.

His work is represented in the collection of the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.
