“Our approach to working with glass has been untraditional and exciting”.
Susan Roulund, Designer
The beginning
The interest for glass art started with the development of new products and methods for the glass industry. These assignments was financially supported by SDS Inventor Fund and Danish Technological Institute.
In 1994 started the interest for working with glass fusing and slumping. In 1998 we established our own glassworks in the middle of the hilly nature of Himmerland, where we still from this day on develop ideas, shape and produce our glasswork.
The whole world as inspiration
To perfect our skills we have been on study trips to Cincinnati and Portland in the United States.
In Europe we have achieved new knowledge and inspiration through study trips to Italy, Germany, Holland and Sweden. Susan has also been on a longer internship at one of Denmark’s leading glass artist within fusing and slumping techniques.
”The drive is the magic of the glass – experimenting with shape, light and colors. Glass is on one hand a very simple material consisting of sand and soda and on the other hand very complex and unpredictable”
Susan Roulund, Designer
