Besides top Finnish designers, Arabia ceramics department also attracted foreign ceramic artists who brought new stimuli to the Finnish field of art and elevated the position of the ceramic art in Finland. One of the them was Jun Kaneko (born in 1942 in Japan) who worked as a guest artist with Arabia in 1987.
Jun Kaneko has worked in several experimental ceramics studios around the world. In 1986, just before his visit to Finland, he founded his current studio, located in Omaha, Nebraska. He continues to work there, studying the possibilities of materials and colours. Kaneko’s works can be found in collections of over 70 museums around the word and the Royal College of Art in London and the University of Nebraska have both granted him honorary doctorates.
