for the eye are conjured up in glass and enamel colours by Freia 
Schulze. Fruit in various colours, flowers, stars, dots and fantastic 
creatures circle and swarm around her small pieces of art: paperweights 
and glass. Through the interplay between light and occasionally 
transparent, engraved and cut glass subjects she creates a variety of 
effects which are extremely precious.

Engraving and cut glass are at the forefront of her work. After her 
sketches the glass body is blown in a studio in Stockholm in Sweden. Enamel colour is applied later onto the whole surface of the container. It is burnt onto the glass at 540 degrees centigrade. From fine metal 
sheets tiny things and little figures are cut out and stuck onto the 
coloured areas of the glasses to make a decoration or an ornamental 
ribbon. Afterwards the container is sand-blown with the fine grained 
sand from a pistol. The result is that only the area which has been 
covered remain, in the spaces in between the colour and surfaces gets 
removed and grounded by about a millimetre.
Freya Schulze has 
opened up for herself a wide spectrum of modelling possibilities. She 
acquired a style all of her own and with it has received a lot of 
attention in expert circles. She studied shaped glass cutting with 
Professor C. Habermeier at the College of Art in Schwäbisch Gmuend. After her diploma she spent a year at the College of Applied Arts in 
Stourbridge in England. Today she keeps a studio in the old town of 
Lübeck. In 2007 Freia Schulze got the Justus Brinckmann Award, Hamburg.
