Lotte Glob

Lotte Glob (born 1944) is a Danish ceramic artist living in the north of Scotland. She is daughter of Peter Glob.

Life

Lotte Glob was born on Samsø, a Danish island, in 1944 as daughter of Peter Glob, a famous Danish archaeologist.[1][2] She grew up in Aarhus and in 1963, age 19, she moved to County Cork, Ireland.[1]

In 1968, Glob established a workshop in Balnakiel Craft Village at Durness in Sutherland, and later moved to Loch Eriboll 9 miles east of Durness. Here she built a timber house designed by architect Gökay Deveci that later won the RIAS Award for Architecture.[3]

Glob often hikes in the mountains, gathering materials and inspiration for her sculptures and returning her work to nature by placing the sculptures at various locations in the mountains.

Søren Ryge Petersen made two documentaries for the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), broadcast in 1999 and 2013, about Glob's life in the mountains called "DR-Derude i Skotland".[4][5]
