Micke Johansson is a natural talent who once became Sweden’s youngest master glassblower. He works primarily with the Ariel and Graal techniques, exploring possibilities and pushing the boundaries of these methods. The Ariel technique, which means “spirit of the air,” was developed by Gustav Bergkvist in 1936.“The finest glassblowing technique is Ariel.” Micke Johansson has developed and refined the technique and is now the only master in the world who blows glass using the double Ariel technique.
Micke Johansson is both a glassblower and a designer, which is an unusual combination in the Swedish tradition. He is the master glassblower who can work magic with a glass pipe!
