The Process
At Tabu Glass, Tanja Burkhardt combines her passion for the ancient art of glassblowing with a distinctly modern touch, creating unique pieces that are both vibrant and timeless. Working in her studio, she draws from years of experience to transform molten glass held at a blazing 1,050 degrees Celsius (1,922 degrees Fahrenheit) into stunning works of art. Tanja gathers the glowing glass on a steel blowpipe, expertly shaping each piece by hand using traditional tools like jacks and shears. Her approach is deeply personal, with each sculpture, vase, or glassware item reflecting her dedication to craftsmanship and her belief in the beauty of handmade artistry. Every creation from Tabu Glass is a testament to Tanja’s skill and the allure of truly one-of-a-kind designs.
