Nina Christensen is a Swedish glassblower, designer and artist. She is the founder of Blank Glass and Design Studio and works with small-scale commercial production as well as unique objects.

In her art and design, she’s drawn to the simple, unadorned and raw. The hands-on nature of hot-shop work is a main influence. Much of her inspiration comes from different parts of the physical processes and the craft of glassblowing – like spinning the hot mass on the pipe, and seeing the shifting states of liquid glass.

By leaving traces of these processes in her pieces – unexpected shapes, deliberate imperfections – Nina tells the story of how the finished products were physically made. This fascinating approach has over time become her hallmark – creating useful, beautiful glass objects while also passing on the history of this craft.
