Marianne Amtorp

Marianne Amtorp originally trained as an educator, but has worked with handicrafts all her life both as a hobby and as an integral part of her professional work. After years of working with young people and art, she took the plunge and became an independent artisan in 2005.

Marianne works with all kinds of textiles as well as flamed glass. She is especially renowned for her jewelry made of blown and hand-thrown glass beads and for her gauzy scarves in a mixture of silk and soft wool. The common feature of her work is their organic inspiration and the lightness of their colour and texture.
