History: In 1958 in Norway, an artist’s colony was established in a town just outside of Oslo called Fredrikstad. Called Plus, the center had studios for weaving, textile printing, glass, silver, ceramics, wood work and furniture design and production. The glass workshop — aka Plus Glasshytte — was one of the most influential of Plus’ initiatives. One of the most influential designers at the PLUS glass workshop was Richard Duborgh who held the position as artistic leader/director from 1959. Though he trained and practiced as a potter, his designs were interpreted in glass at this time. The actual physical process of glass blowing and throwing pottery greatly influenced the shape and texture of his vases and vessels. He was also interested in making sure that all of his objects were useful. In 1970, Durborgh left Plus and returned to full-time pottery https://offerup.com/redirect/?o=bWFraW5nLkJ5 1978, PLUS came to an end. 1500 choice and/or representative objects (glass, textiles, pottery etc.) were donated to Fredrikstad Museum.
