About The Facilitators


Rakel Kieding

Rakel Kieding

Rakel completed the three year glass blowing program at Kosta Glascenter in Sweden in 2010. She loves teaching eager students the dance of blowing glass, where flow and fun are number one.In her own glassy life, she is most pleased when the organic shapes that speak of playfulness are harmoniously met and combined with the symmetrical shapes that speak clear truths and only accompanies intention and mastery. She has always enjoyed transparent green, pink and opaline, but nearest to her heart is clear glass, absolute magic.
