Anders' relationship with glass is deep-rooted, starting with his great-grandfather and then grandfather, who were glass blowers in Sweden. Continuing the tradition, Anders has worked with glass for over 20 years, since age fifteen, in numerous production and artistic studios throughout the Northeast. He has studied at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Pilchuck Glass School, Corning Museum of Glass, Penland School of Crafts, Orrefors Glass School in Sweden and graduated from the University of Vermont with a degree in Political Science. Anders currently lives in New York City, producing his own line of design wares and takes on commissions from various designers, architects and artists. He also works part-time as a studio technician at the Visual Arts Department of Columbia University.
