Elin Isaksson - Exhibition

Since Elin graduated from her MA in Design & Applied Arts at Edinburgh College of Art, she has been combining teaching with her own glass making practise. Her work includes small batch production for galleries in the UK, through one off bespoke projects for individuals and businesses. Elin combines traditional glass making techniques making contemporary designs and her work often expresses in simple but tactile forms in subtle colourways.

Elin’s work can be found installed on cruise ships, offices and enclosed garden spaces. Elin draws inspiration from fond memories of her homeland Sweden, like ice fishing and cross-country skiing in the snowy mountains. Her work is also inspired by her early Scandinavian glass training at the Orrefors glass school and the minimalist forms they were thought, which still influence her work today.

SAY Awards Trophy Designer Winner 2024:

Elin also designed the 2024 Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award trophies: Isaksson's sand-cast sculptures were made from natural rocks near her studio. The trophies are unique because they incorporate fragments of colored glass from previous commissions into hand-poured clear molten glass. The winner's award also includes 23.5 carat gold
