Fritz Lehmberg

Hooked on clay
Fritz Lehmberg made his first "bowl" in 1971. It fell over in the end, but he was hooked on clay. He wanted to learn throwing and this he did wherever he landed during his transient 20s.

After moving to Thunder Bay in 1980, (and a few more ceramics courses, this time at LU), he set up a full time studio in 1983 at the old Franklin Street School. In 1989, he moved into a hand-built timber frame home and studio on Hwy. 61 and built his first wood burning kiln in 1990.

Fritz likes wood, he heats his house with it, fires pots with it and makes glazes out of wood ash. His kiln produces work that is earthy and robust. He is excited to be rebuilding his kiln this spring since it shold produce even earthier and more robust pots than the present ones.
