Boda Glass Art

Peter Hermansson (Skellefteå) and Björn Friborg (Denmark) are two glass artists who work together at Boda Glasbruk. Peter's specialty is design and Björn is the most talented in the process of producing glass art in the factory.
Together they create amazing pieces of glass. Peter's grails and Björn's implosions are much sought after at the exhibits. This evening they work together with their assistants in front of a small audience during a few sweaty hours followed by viewing in their studio.
