Alma Jantunen portfolio

I´m living and working in Nuutajärvi glassvillage in Urjala, Southern Finland.
After finishing glass artisan studies in Wetterhoff polytechic school 1996, I have been working as a glassblower and artist.
My glass sculptures are inspired by the soft shapes and vibrant colors found in nature. With 30 years of experience as a glassblower, I design and execute every single piece myself in my studio. Shaping the heavy, molten glass is an intense physical process that relies on seamless teamwork and precise communication. My goal is to bring the organic shapes of plants and living things into glass. Through my art, I simply want to share the joy, color, and life that I see around me.
