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.

Watch videos of the glass art

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

Sunrise

Designs in happy, warm, shimmering sunshine colors.

These products are burned in a specific way that creates a rough and rustic surface, which makes the glass seem ceramic instead.

Furthermore, these designs have crazed transparent veins and typically with jagged organic edges.

The sculptures have been burned various times. They are only shaped by gravity, and sometimes it has required some complicated ceramic scaffoldings to melt the glass properly.

Gravity only shapes the glass in one direction, so to achieve the sculptural design; the process needs to be repeated several times.

The rough expression of the glass will suit wooden tables perfectly.

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.
