Glass has been blown in Suomenlinna since the 1970s. The studio glass activity initiated by Heikki Kallio has been continued by Glass Studio Hytti, which has hosted several makers of both functional and art glass.
The touring exhibition has been complemented with works by Heikki Kallio and glass artists who have worked in Suomenlinna in the 2020s.
