Born and raised on the island of clay and granite, Bornholm, Denmark (1973), Christina Schou Christensen was exposed to both factory production and studio pottery as a child.
She played in the kaolin pits behind her child's home, heard the explosions of the granite quarries, and was a child worker at the local pottery. This seems to have affected her urge to explore ceramic materials. She is now living and working in a shared studio in Copenhagen – exhibiting worldwide and teaches at various design schools.  Her main focus is experimenting with glaze viscosity.
She explores the possibilities of the glaze as a malleable mass. The final design of her pieces is out of her control since it happens at the highest temperatures in the kiln. The objects are a result of pure ‘laboratory experiments’, where she gets to know the behaviour of the glaze. These experiments turned out to have form-giving qualities that she still is pushing to the limits and develops.
