With a great passion for developing and disseminating knowledge in the link between practice and theory, she enriches not only her students and an entire field of research, but also Formkraft. Bang has written the leader for the first theme on durability.
Mette Colberg, udøvende kunsthåndværker.

Glass and photography are consistent and dominant in the artistic expression where transparency is continuously treated. Mette Colberg sits on the editorial board of Formkraft, as a representative of DKoD’s Executive Board and as a performing artist. Mette contributes to the editorial line and will act as co-editor for the upcoming theme about atmosphere.
