Eili Soon is one of the few glass blowing masters in Estonia that has over 10 years of experience in the field of glass. She is fascinated by traditional glass techniques and tries to blend them with new techniques through diverse forms and colour variations. The delicate, yet mysterious material of glass has interested her since the age of 16 when she first discovered the material. From that moment she delved into the rich history of glass at the Academy of Arts in Tallinn and then worked in various glass studios across Estonia. Her work is inspired by traditional local glassware, human nature, the environment, and history. She enjoys blowing flycatchers and keeping alive the craft by educating students and apprentices at the Olustvere Glass Studio.
