Glass art reflects well-being
Collecting glass art is often perceived as a niche hobby mastered for a select few. In reality, acquiring handcrafted glass is easier—and more meaningful—than many people think. It’s a personal choice that brings joy to life while supporting the vitality of culture and craftsmanship.
COURSES
Summer 2026 intensive courses announced
Registration for next summer’s glassblowing courses is now open! On the week-long intensive courses, experienced glassmakers from around the world will challenge you to push the boundaries of creativity and technique. The Early Bird offer is valid until the end of February 2026.
EXHIBITIONS
Shared Glow
PRYKÄRI VINTTIGALLERIA | 22 NOV 2025 – SPRING 2026
The exhibition brings together art works by international artists who have worked in Nuutajärvi, many of which were created in collaboration with local artisans. The pieces come from the village, the artists, and various collections.
