Have you ever noticed how designers are presented? Often they are portrayed in very stylish and polished surroundings. However, you very seldom get to see the real thing – how they work.
The other day I got to visit Rikke Hagen and learn how she turns a piece of hot glass into the most beautiful shapes… its hard work – very hard. Your skin is only a few centimeters from melting glass, it’s very noisy, sometimes the room is full of smoke and you only have a few seconds to get the shape perfect. So next time you buy something made out of glass, remember that you only see the tip of the design-iceberg.
