GLASS BLOWER/GRINDER
I'm glass blower and -grinder who lives and works in Häme.
My former occupation is gardener.
I get my inspiration from nature and people arround me.
In my works I use great variety of different cold working techniques. I create my works from roughly shaped glass objects, which I finnish by grinding.
I'm looking reflections of light formed by grindings.
