Drejerinden (the Turneress)
Visit the old co-op shop in Ejlby, where the Turneress turns surplus wood into bowls, vases, Miss U figures and other pieces of wooden art from North Funen. Here, a keen eye for shape and materials goes hand in hand with the joy of re-use and solid craftsmanship.
Visit Drejerinden & Værkstedsfejeren in the old co-op shop in Ejlby – a cosy woodturning studio where you can experience North Funen craftsmanship up close. Here you’ll find the popular Miss U figures and a whole range of unique wooden art pieces full of stories.
The name Drejerinden comes from the Danish word trædrejerinden, meaning a female woodturner. Værkstedsfejeren literally means “the workshop sweeper” and refers with a smile to the one who sweeps up in the workshop.
In the workshop, sustainability and upcycling are a natural part of the craft. Old chair legs, tabletops and offcuts are given new life as bowls, vases, tapas boards and quirky figures. Drejerinden is a trained designer, so aesthetics, shapes and creative ideas go hand in hand with a love of upcycled materials.
The Miss U family is inspired by a long North Funen tradition of hand-painted wooden art – and every figure is turned and painted by hand right here in Ejlby. In the shop you’ll also find carefully selected handcrafted pieces from other Danish designers.
