Ken Hanson & Ingrid Hanson

Ken and Ingrid Hanson are a husband and wife glass blowing team, who has been collaborating on their work since 1992. While both artists design and create various works of art in glass, the finished pieces are often achieved through a process of interchanging and modifying ideas. Their free-blown glass is influenced by traditional Swedish and Italian techniques; however, Ken and Ingrid use contemporary colors and designs to personalize their work. While Ken is inspired by balance and ordered patterns, Ingrid draws inspiration from nature and objects in her environment. Through collaboration, they are able to share their ideas, skills and creativity to create unique blown art glass that is balanced with both influences apparent.
