Birkelund in danish means ‘birch grove’. It is the name of the inspiring danish property where American potter Kimberly Young lives with her family and will be the future location for a physical Birkelund Boutique. Each porcelain object is made on the potters wheel, using a plaster mold or the pinch pot method by Kimberly in her studio in Kolding, Denmark. They are created with joy and whimsy yet in a rustic style that reflects the feel and touch of her hands, fingers and fingerprints. They are all fired to a temperature that makes them water resistant and dishwasher safe. Kimberly’s signature style can easily be spotted by her recognizable polka dots on each of the pieces, including the often neglected bottoms. The polka dots give a little something extra and a touch of whimsy to each piece.
