Born in Sweden, Annika Berglund moved to Ireland in 1991. She has been working in clay and exhibiting since 1999. Annika has participated in numerous exhibitions organized by Ceramics Ireland since 2002, exhibited in Sculpture in Context for three years and has participated in numerous other exhibitions. She had her first solo exhibition in 2006. She won prize for "Best Sculpture in the Garden" at Blooms in 2008.

Her work can found in the collections of the Craft Council of Ireland, Microsoft Ireland and the Millcove Gallery Sculpture Garden.

She is currently finishing a ceramics degree in NCAD after one years maternity leave.

My work revolves around explorations of the possibilities and limitations of ceramics as a medium. Much of my current work explores the dynamic between carefully controlled shapes and sections where the marks of the makings determine the final outcome. I also use black firing and different ways of smoke firing to achieve a finish where chance and the elements determine the final outcome. I have also started working in bronze and glass and see this as a source of new and exciting possibilities and inspiration.
