... for the beautiful, handmade. Authentic, special in the midst of all arbitrariness. How about a unique item as a gift for a beloved, unique person? Or simply as an appreciative gesture to yourself? One of a kind for daily pleasure?
craft2eu will show a choice of wonderful pieces of glass art, objects and household glass which speak of the sense of style and talent of the Danes for form and colour. Originals and small series which prove that when it comes to the shaping of glass there are no limits – as long as the true masters in their craft are getting down to their work.
Trine Drivsholm, Leif Møller Nielsen & Christina Hellevik from Ebeltoft, Ned Cantrell & Karen Nyholm from Aarhus, Sia Mai, Marion Fortat and Jacob Lungholt from Copenhagen show their best work at craft2eu.
