I have made two glass items here over the years in visiting Raseborg castle (interesting 13th/14th century castle) and Fiskars (beautiful site of original Fiskars factory, with museum, shops, amazing playground, waterway, interesting foods). Nestled in the Fiskars area is Bianco Blu, a glassblowing factory run by Tarmo Maaronen. Tarmo is wonderfully nice and has a sense of creativity and fun that he shares with those coming to make glass items. My first piece was a bird and I pulled with the tongs a little harder than I should have, which gave me a slightly odd but interesting little blue birdy. My second bird was years later and green. Tarmo made me feel perfectly at ease, he is an incredibly sweet person. There were other items on display at Bianco Blu, including little glass baubles that were inexpensive that the kids loved. After I made my first bird there, I was working for Nokia in the US. Tarmo's beautiful special edition blue and green baubles were made available in the Nokia store for Nokia employees to order, which was wonderful. Highly recommend the area and Bianco Blu! read more
