I have been creating mouth blown and hand sculpted art glass pieces for 21 years. During that time my love and enthusiasm for the material has only grown. Blown glass as well as sculpted hot art glass have an immediate gratification which I find pleasing both from the craft technique as well as the artistic endeavor.

I opened GlasHuset Design Studio in November 2004. A working hot glass studio and gallery open to the pubic, in the heart of Malmö, Sweden's third largest city. 

At GlasHuset we offer glassblowing classes and workshops, as well as hosting events, and team building  for groups or corporations. We also have specials for Möhippar.

 Early in my career I moved to Europe. I completed my degree, BA(HONS) , at West Surrey College of Art and Design, in Farnham England and then moved to Sweden. A country rich with a history of glass design and culture. An apprenticeship with Master Arthur Zirnzack taught me how to combine blown glass with sculpture. His knowledge of  the material and technique were a great gift to me.

  Years later after returning to the USA  I met and began working with Martin Blank. He is one of my favorite art glass sculptors. It  was on his recommendation that I began working with Dale Chihuly. Dale has an ability to bring together skilled artisans and crafts people from all over the world  and get the best from them. People like Pino Signoretto and Italo Scanga, whom  have influenced my work.    

    I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the world's best glass artists . I think that can be seen reflected in my designs and choice of color.
