Kristin Nelson

Kri Kri, a.k.a. Kristin Nelson, is a Seattle native and has been a ceramic artist since 1983. She has a background in fashion design and textiles, and studied weaving in Sweden, receiving her degree in ceramics from the University of Washington. Nelson’s first line of tableware, Kri Kri, premiered at Barneys New York in 1991. Since then, it has been sold at myriad shops boutiques and museum stores in the US, Canada and Japan.

Originally inspired by the wrought iron work in Montreal, where she lived for 5 years, the Kri Kri graphics evolved into an elaborate collection of whimsical creatures and animated botanical ornament inspired by her travels and love of nature.

VIT, pronounced “veet”, is the Swedish word for white and is Nelson’s second line. The sensibility is Scandinavian. Simple, hand drawn white lines ornament these practical yet elegant dishes and vases.
