The complexities and challenges of hot glass mean that I am always learning. After training in glassblowing, I went to The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where my mind was opened to other techniques and possibilities I could explore with glass.

At the beginning of my process, I use a traditional technique, but for the second half I use an experimental one, which is always testing the limits of possibilities with hot glass. I make a repetition of one glass unit, which I combine together to create a textured pattern that is then fused to a glass background.

It never gets boring. Working on the edge of what’s possible with the material is my motivation. I like to push myself and the inspiration for my work is all around me. It is a way of working which suits my personality and in an inspirational environment.

Learn the skills and then find a unique way of making your work which fits your personality. Work for other artists you admire, then you can fully understand there isn’t only one way of making and you will gradually know how you want to work.
