Description: "Blas & Knada is a cooperation association of some 50 professional ceramicists and glassmakers from all parts of Sweden. The members jointly run a gallery and shop in central Stockholm."
There is a wide range of items presented in blas & knada, since it is a gallery showing both Swedish and international glass and ceramics. Here you can find nearly everything from water glasses to flower pots, from classical vases to modern dishes. But don’t worry if you can’t afford any of these goblets, tumblers, brandy, wine or beer glasses; you can still buy the postcards with the images of the handmade items (10 Swedish krona each), and besides, visiting this cozy shop is in itself a good thing.
Entering the gallery, I had put myself in the power of magic; that’s why, not long after that, I found myself buying more and more glasses, cups and candle stands. Glass apples and pears looked so astoundingly natural that I could hardly stand a temptation to bite a piece off.So if you are interested in buying glassware (crystal) or ceramics, do not hesitate to visit this gallery. To end up, blas & knada hosts some 10 solo exhibitions each season, with an opening every third Saturday while major shows of members’ works take place at Christmas and also during the summer. You are really welcome here! .
Not to forget, there is always at least one professional craftsperson at blas & knada who can answer your questions about ceramics and glass. Sometimes there are even two working artists (could be a glassblower and ceramist, as it was when I was there) — both working in the shop and meeting the customers with their warm smiles. If in the childhood you wanted to become a glassblower or ceramist, don’t miss the opportunity to make up for your lost passion. They are pleased to answer all the questions (especially those from children).
Blas & knada is located in the quiet area just opposite Maria Magdalena church, on the cobbled street with art galleries and shops housing glass objects, crystal and ceramics.
It is open 6 days a week:
Tuesday - Friday from 11am until 6pm
Saturday from 11am until 4pm
Sunday from 12am until 4pm
