Tora Urup — Glass Artist and Designer

“I am searching for magic and poetry. My aim is to mediate my experiences through the objects I create.”

About:

With a focus on creating small collections and unique art pieces, the work of glass artist and designer Tora Urup presents her chosen material much like a precious jewel. Her experiments merge at the meeting point of colour, light and space within her glass forms, aiming to express these properties within objects that play with the viewers perception of volume and space. Through their physical presence and aesthetic sensibilities, her creations contain an innate sense of longevity and essential beauty.
