You will most certainly be fascinated by the creative powers and small miracles of the many glass blowers on Bornholm. Bornholm’s glass blowers provide a glimpse of how sand and fire, combined with the force of their lungs and the right technology, are transformed into elaborate articles for everyday use or beautiful one-offs.
At some of Bornholm’s glass blowers, you can discover beautiful and functional glass, bowls and dishes in simple shapes and bright colours, as well as many exciting one-of-a-kind objects. Other glass blowers play with the light, the yarn of the fishermen, the farmer’s ear of corn, jet streams from the planes or simply a forgotten piece of rope. And other glass blowers have items such as beautiful pearls in cheery colours, which is what they focus on.
At most glass blowers on Bornholm, you can experience the studios, where the glass blower creates the works of art. Some of Bornholm’s glass blowers also offer workshops, where you can play glass blower for a day under skilled guidance.
Over the past many years, Bornholm’s glass blowers and glass artists have evolved and created eye-catching applied art. The School of Design Bornholm in Nexø is also visible evidence of the high level, which is strengthened each year precisely due to the school.
