Glava Glasbruk
Last week, me and my homies Monica Alvestad Amundsen and Marte Kartfjord rented a glass workshop in Värmland. It is located by the old Glava Glassworks, that made window glass until there 1939. Today there’s nothing left of the original glassworks, but there is a small studio glass workshop for rent during the summer.
We were supposed to stay for ten days, but due to an electrical problem in the workshop, we had to cut it short.
During the days we where there and able to work, a lot of people came to see us blow glass and were very interested in what we did. I spent my childhood summers in Värmland, and it was nice to be back.
Me and the others have decided to start a creative group, together with the lovely Jennie Olofsson, so this was our first project outside of school. Unfortunately our stay at Glava collided with Jennie’s participation at ART HVIDE SANDE, so she couldn’t join us this time. We missed her every day.
We had decided that our stay would be a combination of both work and holiday, so we made sure to have time for swimming, fishing and barbecuing as well as blowing glass.
Even though the technical problems with the workshop were frustrating and disappointing, we also had a really good time. If everything was in order and working properly, we’d love to go back.
Härliga tider!!! Maty, jag noterar att du ser lite solbränd ut
Haha ja, tyvärr! Man får blöda för konsten…:)
