Estonia www.kristiinauslar.com Kristiina Uslar graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts in 2007 (MA), and has continued to work at the glass department first as a technician and as a lecturer and later also as an associate professor and head of the department. Now she is a freelance artist. Her works have been shown in numerous exhibitions in Europe, Japan and the USA, and can be found in public collections such as the Toyama Glass Art Museum, the Glasmuseet Ebeltoft and the European Museum for Modern Glass in Coburg. Her focus is on the pâte de verre technique, whose delicate and fragile materiality she subverts by making bold and decisive forms with an industrial reference.
