glass is physics
you can hold
One vessel, one light. Drag the light, or take the slider: every colour on this page is cast by the glass.
glas er fysik
we do not decorate glass. we negotiate with light
refractive index 1.51: the angle at which honesty bends.
dispersion: white light, pulled apart into everything it was hiding.
total internal reflection: some things a vessel keeps to itself.
the collection
three negotiations
Scroll slowly. The vessel on the bench takes each form in turn; the light does the rest.
bølge
A low bowl caught mid-wave. The rim remembers the turntable; the light finds the memory every afternoon.
ø 260 mm · 1.4 kg · caught at 1120 °c

A tall vase with a waist, made for the one stem you bring home in february. Winter light approves.

the process, logged
from sand to breath
06:40 · furnace at 1120 °c. sand, soda, lime: the recipe is older than denmark.
08:15 · first gather. molten glass has the manners of warm honey and the opinions of a cat.
08:17 · one breath, steady, through the pipe. the bubble decides its own perfection.
08:31 · the waist, if the form asks for one. tools older than the maker's grandmother.
08:44 · into the annealer. two days of getting over it, from 480 °c down to a tuesday.
fail rate, honest: one in five. the shards go back to the furnace and try again.
the studio
two women, one furnace
mette blows the glass. twenty years of breath control; she claims the furnace listens better than most committees.
signe runs the light. ex-lab technician; keeps a prism on the desk for the 16:00 winter sun and refuses to call any of this magic.
come stand in the heat
The furnace runs thursdays and fridays. Watch a vessel take its first breath, then argue with signe about wave optics.
