25 september kl.11 -14:30 – online.
Crossing borders – influences between the Nordic glassworks in terms of work force, technology and design.
Since 2016 the Nordic Utility Glass Conference has taken place annually as a collaboration between Sveriges glasmuseum (Kulturparken Småland/ Växjö, Sweden), the Finnish Glass Museum (Riihimäki, Finland) and Museum Southeast Denmark (Næstved, Denmark). The conference is a forum for sharing knowledge about the history; manufacture practices and aesthetic developments in utility glass in the Nordic countries, as well as a network and a venue for inspiration for new researchers, collectors and designers to take up glass as a field of interest.
Due to Covid-19 this year’s conference will take place on Zoom.
