Barbara Ebner from Eschenbach
Barbara Ebner von Eschenbach is a glassmaker who stands for clear shapes, bright colors and artistic color gradients. Her vases use light and reflection to create fascinating plays of color that bring rooms to life.
She completed her training from 2000 to 2003 at the Zwiesel Glass College in the Bavarian Forest. After working in Germany, Luxembourg and Denmark, she set up her own business in 2011. Since then, she has been producing her work in the Baruther Glashütte, around sixty kilometers south of Berlin. She is regularly represented at exhibitions and received the Bochum Design Award in 2018 for her vase with comb decoration created using traditional techniques.
In her workshop, she works directly at the 1200 degree hot molten glass. Using tools such as the glassmaker's pipe, a utensil that has remained virtually unchanged since ancient times, she shapes the glowing glass into unique vessels.
Barbara Ebner von Eschenbach says: "I have been working with this material for 25 years now. The molten glass mass still fills me with joy and the curiosity to keep learning from it."
