Kari Alakoski
Master glass-blower
The master glass-blower's path has taken him via Iittala and Nuutajärvi to Riihimäki. Now, in Riihimäki's old glass factory, future classics are born.
Alakoski manufactures his creations in experimental fashion, applying demanding techniques. His art glass reflects his long experience and powerful vision.
"The best work manifests itself when the intrinsic fluidity of glass converges with my vision."
