Glass4U Creative Glass Studio

Colourful glass art on quiet Nordmors

Glass4U sits in the small village of Sejerslev on Nordmors, a peaceful corner of the island surrounded by fields and the waters of the Limfjord. From the outside it looks modest and homely, but step in and you are immediately greeted by shelves and tables filled with shimmering glass pieces in every shade. Sunlight catches pendants, bowls, dishes, figures and decorative panels, throwing flecks of colour across the walls. The studio is part of a broader creative universe developed by local artist Anette, who gathers glass art from different makers and also produces her own designs. Many pieces draw inspiration from the nearby sea and shoreline: cool blues, sandy tones and organic shapes that echo waves, pebbles and seaweed. Others are playful and bright, with bold patterns that feel at home in children’s rooms or modern kitchens.

A working glass studio you can step into

Beyond the display area lies the beating heart of Glass4U: the glass workshop where the making happens. Here you see tools laid out on worktables, cutters and pliers, jars of glass frit and stringers, and the kilns used to fuse the pieces. This is not a polished showroom separated from the creative process; instead, the workshop atmosphere is part of the experience. If you are curious, Anette explains how glass is cut, layered and fired to create depth and texture. You learn the difference between delicate jewellery pieces and thicker, functional objects such as platters or window panels. The scent is faintly metallic and dusty from glass work, but the room feels warm and welcoming, with music or quiet conversation in the background.

Try‑it‑yourself sessions for all skill levels

One of the main draws at Glass4U is the chance to make your own glass art. During open creative workshop hours, visitors of all ages can sit down, choose colours and shapes, and design a piece with guidance on hand when needed. No prior experience is required; the focus is on play, experimentation and the joy of seeing your idea take form. Families often work side by side on small projects, while couples design something to take home as a shared souvenir. Groups of friends or colleagues can turn the session into a social activity, cutting and arranging glass while chatting around the worktables. When your piece is ready, it goes into the kiln and you either collect it later or arrange to have it sent on.

A wider creative universe under one roof

Glass4U is one branch of a wider concept where several creative activities coexist. In addition to glass, there is space for painting with acrylics on canvas, wood panels or even furniture, adding another dimension for visitors who like to mix materials and techniques. Nearby guest accommodation within the same overall concept makes it possible to combine an overnight stay with several workshop sessions, turning a short visit into a small creative retreat. The site’s rural setting enhances the feeling of stepping out of everyday routines. Between sessions you can pause with a drink, look out toward the surrounding countryside or take a gentle stroll through the village, letting new ideas sink in. The pace remains unhurried, and there is time to ask questions, experiment and adjust your design.

Personalised gifts and commissioned pieces

For travellers who prefer to browse rather than create, Glass4U also functions as a small gallery and gift shop. Many visitors look for one‑of‑a‑kind presents: a customised glass plaque for a wedding, a special bowl to mark an anniversary, or seasonal decorations that reflect Danish design traditions. Commissioned works can incorporate specific colours, names or motifs, making them distinct to the person or occasion. Alongside glass you may find selected leather goods and other gift items curated to complement the artwork, all sharing a handmade, personal feel. Taken together, Glass4U offers a blend of rural charm, hands‑on creativity and intimate contact with an artist in her own workspace, making it a memorable stop on any exploration of Mors and the Limfjord region.
