Floor: 1 & 2
Room number: Glasshytte, bygg 7
The studio is open Saturday 27 April from 12-17
I stribe to find a visual language to express the tensions we faces every day, wich we attends to balance. Besides my work giving a good laugh and beeing an aestetic delight, I would like my work to give perceptible reflections, a meeting exploring the meaning between what’s expressed and what’s not.

In my studio
Welcome in! The furnace roars and spit flames like a dragon, to keep the temperature at 1160 celcius, twenty-four/seven. The heat are needed to be able to shape and form the glass material, to become what you see around you. Visiting the studio, you’ll see how we work with glass, and get to see my showroom. I’ll give a short glass demo starting at 12, at 14 and 15 .
