Teemu Kylvö (b. 1994), from Pori, Finland, set out to pursue his dream at the Nuutajärvi Glass School. Having trained as an ICT technician, Kylvö felt that a technical career was not for him. Even then, he dreamed of a profession that would allow him to express his creativity through hands-on work.
“After comprehensive school, I trained as an ICT technician, and it was during that time that I first became interested in glass art. In spring 2016, I applied and was accepted to study at Nuutajärvi Glass Village. Through my studies, I have met designers and glassblowers with years of experience in the field. Alongside learning different techniques, the knowledge they have shared with me has been particularly valuable,” says Teemu.
