Henny holds a BFA from the School of Ceramics and Glass at Bornholm, Denmark and an MFA from Konstfack – the University College of Arts and Craft in Stockholm, Sweden. She has also been a guest student at SHKS – the National University College of Arts and Craft in Norway. Since 2000 she has been active in various fields within the visual arts, such as sculpture, installation, performance art and traditional commission work. She has shown her work at galleries and museums in Sweden, Denmark and Italy and has been an artist in residence and guest artist at the International Ceramic Research Centre in Denmark and the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada. Although trained as a ceramic artist, Henny Linn Kjellberg has mainly been collaborating with artists in the performance field. In order to cross boundaries between the art forms and widen the concept of stage design, she has created ceramic objects
that have been used as costume and installation art, as well as set design. In this context she has also been researching ceramics and sound, in collaboration with the American composer Ellen Lindquist and Danish percussionist Birgit Løkke, through the development of a set of porcelain percussion instruments. http://www.hennylinn.se
