Examples of Michael's handmade glass art

All the glass is handmade.

Look in the glass series below and see examples of my glass art.

Each glass series must resemble nature. Just as nature is varied, the individual glass series also have variants within colors, structures and shapes.

Contact me if you want to buy something. Then I'll send it.

Reserved works are typically exhibited in, for example, another gallery. If such a work interests you, please contact me.

You can also visit me, call 21 78 33 72 or contact me here.

Is there anything that interests you, visit me or contact me here.

See an example from each glass series where the glass rotates and where the sculptural shape of the glass comes into its own.

Fleezy Clouds

The glass is supposed to resemble little altocumulus clouds in layers passing over the ocean. Kind of like what the ocean might look like seen from space. The transparency of the glass is used to create depth and an apparent 3D-effect through the clouds.

Multiple layers of glass in different colors are burned in a specific way to release the bright glass, which then works its way through the layers to the surface and form clouds. The shadows and nuances appear as the colors chemically don’t mix well together.

Beforehand, the glass is burned with water and crazed to make it more fragile for the next burning.

The first challenge is to balance the colors – and thereby the chemistry – to avoid it becoming one big grey and ugly splotch.

The next challenge is to control the fusion by being extremely precis with the temperature and duration, as the glass only gets its beautiful expression inbetween a very small spectrum.

Michael Kofod

Can you unite wildness and harmony?

Isn’t it exactly what Michael Kofod’s glass art does?

The purpose of Michael’s glass art is to create enjoyment, delight and different moods.

Simply put: Art for ordinary happy people!

Michael aims to achieve this by:

  • The structure of the glass:
    Michael makes the crude glass himself for most of his work of art, in the attempt of creating unique structures and patterns in multiple layers.
  • The transparency of the glass:
    Michael often mixes transparent glass into his designs, to create depth, refractions and small 3D-experiences.
  • The shape of the glass:
    Michael prefers to work with large organic and sculptural shapes, but also makes smaller designs that are more conservative.
  • The color of the glass:
    Michael always uses bright, clean, strong and warm colors that matches each other as well as the particular design. Sometimes I even make my colors by mixing colored glass.

The Danish nature is the primary source of inspiration that Michael uses. It is beautiful, shimmering, wild, unpredictable, indomitable and completely without straight lines. That’s how Michael wishes his art to be seen.

Michael has been trained by world-famous Canadian glass artist Bob Leatherbarrow, among others. 

Michael's glass has been exhibited alongside HRH Prince Henry's African masks and it has been exhibited alongside some of Salvador Dali's sculptures.
