"We welcome all kinds of experiments and the use of different kinds of materials and processes regardless of the artists background. We don’t use the term ‘glass artist,’ the people working in S12 are artists using glass as a material in one way or another."

Bergljot Jonsdottir
Director, S12 Studio & Gallery

"S12 offers a utopian vision that many dream of. It is a fantastic place where artists can experiment, create, and exhibit within the walls of a single location, with no pressure to commodify their efforts. With a studio in which you can try nearly anything and a space that welcomes the wild, the astounding, and the profound, S12 is indeed a very special place."

Justin Ginsberg
Artist

"Being in S12 as a manager of the workshop and as an artist in residence, gave me the opportunity to develop my knowledge of the physical and sensitive properties of glass. It became possible through my own experiments with the material and experience when helping other artists. Teaching and showing amateurs the basic processes when making glass was a rich experience for me as well. This work was an essential step, and allowed me to “abstract” the material and to access its nature."

The Gallery

Has a varied program with 4 - 5 exhibitions a year. It challenges, illuminates and demonstrates the role of glass in art and design, emphasising experimental expressions and approaches. Shows temporary, site-specific installations and supports emerging artists.

The Project Room

Is a place for experimentation, education and play. It is where advanced technical and artistic processes are presented, for all kinds of people of all ages.

The Workshop

Is a professionally equipped studio for glassblowing, casting, fusing, mold-making and coldworking. It houses our most important activities and events.

Education

Gives knowledge about and experience with glass through workshops, courses, talks, lectures, demonstrations and exhibitions. It aims to increase the understanding of both the artistic and technical processes that enter into the creation of an artwork.

AiR / Artists in Residence

Gives artists the opportunity to experiment with the material and try out new and innovative approaches in their work. They get the opportunity to present their work in a variety of ways. The workshop and housing is provided free of charge.

Children and Youth

We offer courses in working with both hot and cold glass.
Our workshops focus on active participation and creativity, where we help the participants to see the glass - not just look through it.
