Skeppsta glass studio

Skeppsta glass studio

is situated in the beautiful landscape of Sörmland. Sörmland is a neighbour landscape to Stockholms and only 50 minutes by car from Stockholm and 50 minutes from Skavsta Airport, on the road 223 between Mariefred and Björnlunda. Skeppsta hytta is a glass studio with a cafe, a shop and a gallery. It is a great spot for an excursion with the whole family. Defiantly worth the while if your passing through. Here is Ebba von Wachenfeldt blowing her colourful and lively glass objects. She has been working as a glassblower and artist for over 25 years and since 2004 is her workshop situated in Skeppsta hytta.

You can come to try blowing glass. We offer weekend courses and group arrangements. We can take groups from 1 – 30 persons. You get to shape, blow and cut the hot glass and we are there to help you. You’ll understand how important it is to turn, turn and turn the glassblowing pipe. In the end you´ll get to keep your own made glass. Call to book +46 (0) 158 30025 or send an email.

We offer a broad spectrum of activities. Come and try blowing glass for yourself. Try a weekend course or book a shorter time with a group, whether that is a company or a private group. Welcome in the glass studio where you can take a look on this exciting and magical handy craft. See how Ebba von Wachenfeldt, glass master, works with this lively material. Under the heat of the furnaces you’ll experience how one blows glass from the beginning till the end. In our café we have fresh coffee with kanelbullar (cinnamon rolls) or chocolate biskvi´s. In the shop we have an overview on all the glass we have in our production line. Admire the colourful, vibrant glass and find beautiful glass for yourself or as presents. In the summertime our gallery is opened showing contemporary artists. There you can enjoy art under the tranquillity of the countryside.
