Gunnars Keramik was a small pottery workshop in Höganäs, run by thrower Gunnar Borg (1926–2007). Borg began working at the Andersson & Johansson manufactory in Höganäs at around the age of fourteen, where he spent 28 years; during his final 14 years there, he made almost exclusively miniatures based on designs by John Andersson.
After an exhibition in Örkelljunga in 1968, he decided to leave and open his own workshop on Kullagatan in Strandbaden: a basement studio, a shop on the ground floor and a flat above. He sourced clay from the Netherlands; he made lamp bases, ashtrays, jugs and vases. The best sales period was in the 1970s and 1980s; Borg worked until his death in 2007. The workshop should not be confused with Höganäs Keramik.
