About your host Kalli
I am graduated glass artist and I have been active over 20 years. My studio is regarded as one of three or four leading glass studios in Estonia. My main institutional customers are governmental departments and agencies as well as major enterprises. Their regular purchases consist of unique prizes and business gifts. My studio’s range is, of course, much more comprehensive: from glass jewelry to stained glass windows and exclusive lightings. To me, glass is much more than work, it is my passion, hobby and my everyday life. I like to mix different techniques - glass fusing, slumping, flameworking, recycling. I love to improvise and to combine new techniques with old ones. I belong to local community of creative people, which provides us with a wider view of local cultural life, willingly shared with you.SHOW DATES
