Cultural Connections CC was founded in 1998 by Birthe Fraser to promote Danish / Nordic Applied Art in the UK, a natural progression from more than a decade as Cultural Attaché to Denmark's London Embassy and with a professional background as an archaeologist of the ancient Middle East with particular knowledge of ceramics, faience and glass. Cultural Connections combines an expertise in the Nordic applied art traditions with a knowledge of the actual production techniques ancient as well as modern and can also provide curatorial and adjudicating as well as an advisory service. CC has a full yearly exhibition programme information on which can be found in the Diary section.
