A BIT OF HISTORY

Hanne Dreutler / Studio Ahus 
Hanne ( Hannelore ) Margarete Dreutler (b. 1942 - d. 2009) in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany was a German-Swedish glass artist and silversmith.

Dreutler studied at the Kunst Hochschule during 1959 in Basel, Switzerland, after which she studied at the College of Arts in Stockholm in 1961 training as an industrial designer and silversmith. Her qualifying piece of silver in 1967 was awarded the bronze medal and during that year, she worked as an independent silversmith in Stockholm.

She would go on to work for the Målerås and Flygsfors glassworks from 1968. In 1971, Dreutler moved to Kosta Boda where she would meet Arthur Zirnsack, and both would work under Vicke Lindstrand. Dreutler and Zirnsack married and the couple started their own glassworks, Studio Åhus in 1977. The glassworks specialised in the famous traditions of Scandinavian glass art and Lindstrand worked at Ahus after he retired from Kosta Boda.

Dreutler's career included an important contribution to the art glass field, in the excelling at a technique called Graal glass. Graal glass is the cutting and engraving to reveal different colours of a blown glass bubble that consists of one or more layers of coloured glass overlaid on clear glass. The bubble is reheated and re-blown to the final shape of the object. The invention of this difficult technique was considered the 'holy grail' of glassblowing - hence the name ('graal' is Swedish for grail).

Dreutler's achievements include representation at the Stockholm National Museum, the granting of Studio Ahus' appointment to the King of Sweden in 1993 and in 1999, the awarding of the Kristianstad Municipality's cultural prize.
