Glasshytta i Gamlebyen

Glasshytta in Old Town is the first studio glass cabin in Norway. It was started as part of the PLUS - organization. PLUS was founded in November 1958 and had its business until 1978. The purpose was that the workshops that were created during the organization's protection would act as laboratories to develop designs for large and small businesses. The flammable Glasshytta was placed on Rave Linet, outside the other buildings. PLUS started with nine workshops in operation, and the peak was fourteen. Glasshytta amounted, in addition to three textile and ceramics workshops, the core of PLUS, but was already in 1962 made into a separate corporation and separated from the rest of PLUS - organization.

Glasshytta was from the outset a popular pastime for city tourists.

Glass blowers in Glasshytta was in the first period drawn from both Hadeland Glassworks and Magnor Glassworks. It was the simple and primitive, and glazing their individual differences, which were highlighted in glasshyttas products.

ARNE LINDAAS (1924) was the first artistic director for both PLUS and Glasshytta. He was on the 50s and 60s one of the most versatile designers and designed in many materials. In glass he designed purpose-objects in simple shapes with colors green, antique gray and blue.

The next leader of Glasshytta was RICHARD DUBORGH (1932 - 2007) who was responsible for Glasshytta from 1960 to 1970. He spent the first years the same colors as Lindaas and forms were very simple and often variations on basic forms. Cylinder shape was used in both vases and platters. In late 60s took Duborgh use a larger color gamut, and he let various effects into the glass mass.

From 1970 to 1979, Benny Motzfeldt (1909-1995) artistic director. She was basically draws and debuted in 1936 on the  exhibition Høstutstillingen. It was a study in Italy, visiting Glass cottages in Venice, including contributed to her interest in glass art. Although she says about the interest for glass in this way: "How I got into glass? When I was asked the same of an Englishman, I said that it was an accident - an accident or an accident, but it was alredy an incident - a coincidence - I meant. "

From 1970 until the year she died, 86 years old, worked Benny Motzfeldt at Glasshytta in Old Town, Fredrikstad. It was here that she seriously began experimenting with glass, and her creativity established her as a glass artist of international renown. Benny Motzfeldt told that her daughter as a child called her Mom antics, and that it was important for her to keep her creative imagination also on older days. Benny Motzfeldt had exhibitions that gained great response in both home and abroad, and she perceived the dialogue with the audience as important.

Benny Motzfeldt was dependent on skilled craftsmen and questions if she did not wish to blow their glasses even she replied: "No, why should I do it ... I can intervene in the middle of the process, more or less control the development of the pulp. Without glassblowers I could not have made glass, but I do not think they could make these things without me. "(Source: Benny Motzfeldt Universitetsforlaget AS in cooperation with Gallery Acantus, Oslo 1984)

ABEL Sawe (1958) started at Glasblower in 1987, has been a partner in Glasshytta since 1991 and from April 2008 the sole owner of the Glass Factory. In Fredrikstad he began glassblowing skills for Benny Motzfeldt, but started in 1991 also to blow glass himself designed. Since 1995, he has essentially blown own design (see separate review).
