The ceramist Lisa Larson is awarded a medal of the twelfth size for “an artistry that has both renewed and enriched the Swedish arts and crafts”. Lisa Larson is well known for her characteristic figurines of animals and people in rounded shapes.
– The medals are given to someone who has done something great in culture, science and who has meant a lot to Sweden both nationally and internationally. You can really say that ceramicist Lisa Larsson and documentary filmmaker Tom Alandh have done that, says culture minister Jeanette Gustafsson to DN.
The medals are awarded in August.
