Welcome
In the dusty world of sandblasting, art is maybe not what you associate with heavy industrial tools as compressors and hoses, but art is my passion in life and pressurized air with sand are indeed my tools. See for yourself if my passion came through!
Glass has been my professional occupation since 1990. During these years I have had the opportunity to work with very talented architects on numerous projects here in Stockholm, as well as a number of creative artists where the dialogue has been one of the most sensitive tools to use.
During 1996 I was invited to the Centre international de recherché sur le verre et les arts plastiques, CIRVA in Marseilles, France as an expert on sandblasting of glass. During the spring of 1999 I was invited to teach at the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm, Sweden. That was a lot of fun!
One of the things I enjoy most with my work, is the challenge to fulfill people's dreams, when it comes to the motives in the glass.
Do you have any dreams?

Interview with Mrs Tigist Tesfaye
"I have travelled a lot around the world and I have always been interested in interior designs, souvenirs and gift items. Whenever I visit a new country I am curious to see what they do to make lasting impression on visitors. As you know, the image of Ethiopia is one of poverty, hunger and war."
