Biography from Fuller Craft Museum:
| Born in Hamburg, Germany in 1955, Christian has been living in the
United States since 1978. Building on a foundation laid by a
furniture maker's apprenticeship in Germany in the middle seventies, he
studied sculpture and drawing first at the Museum School in Boston and
then at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver, BC.
In 1982 he and his wife, Micheline, opened a studio in Southern
Oregon. His early focus was on furniture and interiors, but
gradually shifted to woodturning and sculpture, moving between vessel
oriented forms and sculptural turning. His work has been included
in most of the the major turning related exhibits of the last ten years
and is exhibited widely throughout the U.S. His pieces are part
of many public and private collections.
He is also sought after as a teacher and demonstrator at craft schools
and conferences and related turning events. He currently resides
with his two sons at the outsirts of Ashland, Oregon.
