Elin Isaksson

Elin is originally from Sweden. She discovered her passion for blown glass during her studies at Orrefors Glass School, Sweden in 1998. She completed both her Masters in Glass and Architectural Glass Design at Edinburgh College of Art in 2006. During this time she worked with Lindean Mills Glass, Galashiels and was also taught by Masters Dante Marioni and Simon Moore at Northlands Creative Glass Centre, Lybster. Elin set up her own glass blowing studio in Alloa 2010 with funding from the Scottish Arts Council and Clackmannanshire Council. Her inspiration comes from the play of light, texture and movement in nature and uses the glassblowing technique to achieve her elegant sculptural forms.
