Entranced by glass
- • Ilze makes stained glass works
- • She is one of the founders of the Glass Art and Studies Centre
- • She teaches at the Art Academy of Latvia
Since graduating from the Art Academy of Latvia in 1993, Ilze Dūdiņa has become increasingly entranced by glass and its paradoxical nature. Strong and fragile at the same time, glass can even be dangerous, but in Ilze's hands it becomes safe and beautiful. She uses many different techniques to tame glass and design ethereal, delicate and polished objects. In doing so, it isn't only the creative side of her brain that is put to work; her knowledge of chemistry and physics is an integral part of the process. Ilze is passionate about teaching, passing on her knowledge to students of the Art Academy and teaching anyone who is interested in the craft at the Glass Art and Studies Centre.
