For Ebeltoft’s 700 year jubilee in 2001, this exhibition celebrated a varied spectrum of glass art that, in one way or another, is based on a religious subject or theme. Because this definition is open and accepting of many directions and interpretations of religion, the viewer must, at times, be probed to discover themselves how a piece has been infused with a religious aspect. An exciting exploration of the relationship between contemporary glass and religion.

This beautiful book focuses on the 12 year period that Sahlin spent as designer for the prestigious Kosta Boda glassworks, a period that saw the internationally renowned glass company leap into bold new directions. Not a craftsman herself, Sahlin brought with her a host of ideas from unrelated disciplines and her experiments tested the limits of traditional concepts in glass design. Along with the craftsmen and glassblowers, she created extraordinary works of lasting beauty. Stunning images of her work presented in a playful, creative, and personal layout make this book an aesthetic delight.
