Jorgen Jensen

Well-known Danish pewter artist/craftsman Jorgen Jensen was born in 1931, the son of a realtor, he’s often mistaken for the son of silversmith Georg Jensen, who had the same name. For a short time, he worked at Georg Jensen's workshop but moved first to Montreal then Stockholm before setting up a studio from 1960-1965 in the basement of a building his father owned in Copenhagen. Jensen liked to work in Pewter because he found it pliable and affordable. Unlike the other Jensen’s, he created simple, fine jewelry in pewter.
