Walter Lieberman presents a talk on "Simply Beautiful: A History of Nordic Glass" followed by Hyttsill (Hot Shop Herring), the traditional light meal that follows hot shop work in Sweden.

Pull, Twist, Blow: Transforming the Kingdom of Glass introduces the work of young, innovative Swedish glass artists. Glass is a part of everyday life for people all over the world, and in Sweden glass art is considered an institution.

This exhibition reveals the works of young, contemporary Swedish glass artists, how they relate to their predecessors, and how they are addressing the future of glass. The museum has organized several related programs in conjunction with the exhibition. Nordic artists featured in the exhibit include Peter Hermansson, Annika Jarring, Åsa Jungnelius, Ingalena Klenell, Simon Klenell, Helena Kågebrand, Matilda Kästel, Ludvig Löfgren, Fredrik Nielsen, and Karl Magnus Nilsson.
