Käsityönä tehdyn lasin lumo Suomenlinna-museossa

Suomen lasimuseon kokoama kiertonäyttely juhlistaa käsityönä valmistetun lasin liittämistä Unescon aineettoman kulttuuriperinnön luetteloon. Näyttely kertoo käsityönä valmistetun lasin perinteestä ja suomalaisesta lasialan toiminnasta ja osaamisesta.

Suomenlinnassa on puhallettu lasia jo 1970-luvulla. Heikki Kallion aloittamaa studiolasitoimintaa on jatkanut Lasistudio Hytti, jossa on työskennellyt useita käyttö- ja taidelasin tekijöitä. Kiertonäyttelyä on täydennetty Heikki Kallion ja Suomenlinnassa 2020-luvulla toimineiden lasitaiteilijoiden teoksilla.

Sculpting with fire

Here are some photos from my previous hot shop session in Nuutajärvi. Many thanks to gaffers Jenni Sorsa and Matti Vilppula for the most productive day. Such a joy to see how ideas come to life and my drawings get transformed into glass sculptures.

These new pieces, quite a striking collection of them, will be on show at Gumbostrand Konst & Form, art center in Sipoo, Finland from 13th of November onward.
