Guggisberg (Swiss) and Baldwin (American) have been working together in glass for over twenty years, marrying the “Swedish overlay” and Italian cold-working to create surface texture elaboration more than decoration and embellishment. Some of the cuts, the rounded “Battuto” are cosmic, geomorphic, or biological in a sense, stemming from precision and subtle alterations in their cutting techniques. Glasmuseet Ebeltoft is deighted to have this opportunity to show the work of these two outstanding artists in Denmark.

He finds great inspiration in nature: Like puddles of water, the stars in the night, ocean waves, fish and insects. He is originally a toolmaker, and is a master of the technicalities of this art like an engineer. Any collector of fine contemporary glass should consider his art pieces.

This is one of the most beautiful books on the subject of glassmaking that you will ever see. It contains a selection of the work of Sweden’s master designer, Bengt Edenfalk, from his years first at Skruf and then at Kosta Glassworks, to examples of his private production since 1989. Of great interest are those pieces fashioned in the experimental “Thalatta” technique and its later applications with brilliant colors.
