My glass adventure began in the Netherlands in 2021. Now, I live and work in Copenhagen as a glassblower.

I find glass to be challenging, with characteristics that you cannot find in any other material. Hard, cold, and transparent, but when you heat it up, it becomes soft and fluid.

When I blow glass, I use a furnace that is constantly at around 1130 degrees Celsius. In this furnace, there is a pot of molten glass. At this temperature the glass is as fluid and soft as honey. As it cools down, it becomes gradually stiffer and less moveable. Each temperature has its advantages and disadvantages. While working, you can reheat the glass in a special oven, but never back to the initial temperature.

Therefore blowing glass is always a game with the heat, a game that never gets boring.
