This eponymous factory in Malerås, 23km from Kosta, is the collaboration of acclaimed artist Mats Jonasson and four other glassblowing talents who produce original pieces ranging in style from kitsch to classic. Watch the artists at work, shop for pieces or try your hand at the craft (400kr). Up to three glassblowing exhibitions are offered daily.
