BLOG

WHAT? WHY? WHEN? HOW? If you can’t find it anywhere else, you can probably find it here on the BLOG. Here I will write on a regularly basis about shows and exhibitions, that I participate in, and about new ideas and work processes as well. There will be documentation from my workshop and explanations on the newest experiments. There will be links and references to all the nice and exciting projects going on out there. In short: a newspaper!

Nearly ten years ago, I had a great idea for how to gel and manipulate
a cold glass mass in a way that gives the material almost textile
properties. For days after, I was almost stunned as I took in the vast
implications of my discovery. Then came the long, arduous process
of developing the technique over the following weeks, months and
years, as the waste bin became my new best friend: I learned a lot
by staring into its content of failed samples!
I call this technique Gelled Glass, and I want to share it, because
I am curious to see how it might develop in the hands of other
glassmakers; amateurs and professionals alike. I simply do not
have enough miles in me to test all the possibilities myself.
Hence this introduction, which is intended as an accessible and
simple introduction to the basic principles of Gelled Glass, which
allows for new and unprecedented ways of glassmaking.
