Yngvild Fagerheim

Yngvild Fagerheim (born 1942) is a Norwegian ceramist. Inspired by American and European experiments with ceramics, she was one of the first in Norway to break away from practical applications and adapt her skills to artistic expression. Her work has frequently reflected her political views, for example in connection with the Vietnam War or the feminist movement.[1][2] In 1977 she was offered but refused the Jacob Prize, Norway's annual award for craftsmanship.[3] Several of Fagerheim's works are in the permanent collection of Norway's National Museum.[4]
