You can experience Sten Clod Poulsen’s beautiful wood art in the two display cases at Dalgas Have.

Sten works with the natural expression of wood, allowing its colours, textures and grain patterns to take centre stage. His works range from figures and jewellery to various functional objects – all created with great care and craftsmanship.

Sten resumed working with wood in 2015 after many years as an educational researcher and development consultant. His inspiration comes, among other things, from Danish design from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as artists and architects such as Henry Moore, Eero Saarinen and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Take a walk past Dalgas Have and experience the two display cases featuring Sten Clod Poulsen’s wood art.

Judit paints watercolours that imaginatively revolve around concrete experiences and subconscious constellations between people and animal-like beings, rendered in light, transparent colour atmospheres. Often with a whimsical and humorous touch.

Spectacular Glass Structures You’ve Never Seen Before

The inspiration comes from nature, which means everything to Michael. It is beautiful, it brings joy, and it gives peace of mind. Nature is a contrast to all the madness, the incomprehensible, and the wrong that happens in this world.

Unfortunately, more and more nature is disappearing. Michael therefore believes it is important to highlight nature in art, making it clearer what we are on the verge of losing.

He does this by imitating elements from nature in advanced and distinctive glass structures. Michael’s glass art is a tribute to nature.

After many experiments, Michael solved the puzzle

By accident, some glass had run down to the bottom of the kiln and created beautiful structures resembling ice floes. This sparked Michael’s experiments with deep structures designed to mimic elements of nature.

Michael discovered that different colors have slightly different densities. Some colors float upward when fired for a long time at very high temperatures. At the very moment the lighter colors break through the surface, stunning structures can appear.

A few minutes or a few degrees in the firing process make the difference between hideous and incredibly beautiful glass. Each color combination requires its own special firing time and temperature. Michael has conducted over 2,000 experiments to master the approximately 20 structures he now uses in his imitations of nature.

This imitation of nature led art critic Tom Jørgensen to describe Michael’s glass art in enthusiastic terms, writing among other things: “The glass doesn’t just resemble nature – in a certain sense, it becomes nature.”

Artistic Achievements

Several renowned glass artists and art critics – including Monica Ritterband – praise the glass. So does gallery owner Finn Møller, who wrote on Facebook in 2024: “World-class glass art.” Michael has exhibited in countless art associations, in over 20 galleries, and at 8 juried exhibitions, most recently at Dronninglund Art Center in November 2025.

Some of the glass has been exhibited alongside Salvador Dalí’s sculptures and Prince Henrik’s African masks, and works have been used by sexologist Joan Ørting in a lecture on erotic art at Thisted Music Theater.

Michael was trained, among others, by world-renowned Canadian glass artist Bob Leatherbarrow.

He won first prize in a major glass competition featuring 155 works from Denmark and Sweden.

Michael has completed commissioned works for both private individuals and companies. His glass has been sold to customers in Denmark, Norway, Germany, Italy, the USA, Japan, China, Lebanon, Iraq, and Kenya. In addition, Michael’s glass art has been featured in three art books.

Regina writes about herself:

I am a visual artist and have been painting and receiving instruction since 2017. I work in the minefield between the inner – the psychological – and the outer – the subjective experiences. I work in multiple layers, both technically and metaphorically, where I engage with my inner mental state, personal experiences, and the influences of life around me. I am affected by people, life, and what happens in the world around me. I spend a lot of time in nature, where I often find sources of inspiration and ideas to express myself creatively in my paintings. I incorporate nature’s light, sounds, colors, scents, shapes, and figures into my works. I have always loved creative forms of expression.

I mainly paint abstract and figurative compositions with vibrant colors. I mostly work with acrylic on canvas, but also acrylic on paper. The abstract expression invites reflection and personal interpretation of my art. I was born in 1963. I am originally trained as a nurse and health visitor.
