New: Tic-tac-toe
The grid for the game inspired Rineke to create this glass fusion object Tic-tac-toe. The 9 squares are placed horizontally and vertically, just like the blue pawns in them. The work is framed in a beautiful wooden frame.
Wonderful weekend “Reflections in Glass”
Rineke and Carolin enjoyed their exhibition “Reflections in Glass” together with their visitors in the Church of Persingen. Despite the rain, many people came to watch and enjoy. The church was beautifully decorated with the colorful glass sculptures by Rineke in the middle and the magical lava-coating glass panels by Carolin on the walls. The work of the two artists complemented each other beautifully.
New: Kir Royal
For Rineke, 2023 is a festive year in which she is breaking through as a glass artist. This is celebrated with a festive drink, a Kir Royal. This artwork connects to the colors and feelings of the pink champagne cocktail. Party time!
New: Lighthouse
The bright light at the top of a lighthouse is often white, but in some towers it is also red in color. Rineke captured the atmosphere of lighthouses in this tall glass object. The two parts together form a round structure that shows its color depending on how you look at it.
New: Golden hour
Glass artist Rineke loves the light in the last hour before sunset. Photographers call it the Golden Hour. During that time, the sun gives a wonderfully warm glow to everything the light shines on. The glass sculpture ‘Golden hour’ wants to convey that feeling to you. Enjoy the warmth.
Reflections in Glass – 3D glass art
Rineke Nijssen from Elst (Gld) and Carolin Zibulka from Kleve (Germany) cordially invite you to their duo exhibition Reflections in Glass on 18 and 19 November from 11:00 to 17:00.

Interest in bronze at Kunstbeurs Zutphen
In addition to her colourful glass objects, Rineke also brought some bronze sculptures to the Zutphen 2023 Art Fair. Diver, Ballum and Hollum and Leisure received admiring comments. The beautiful glass objects were also in the spotlight with many ooohhhh’s and ahhh’s. Rineke wishes the new owners of her work lots of joy.
New: Geysir
This blue-green glass artwork in turquoise base is called Geysir and is the third in the Eruptions series. Geysir the Icelanders call it, the spouting spring that gave our hot water appliances its name. Rineke went to look there, but stood a little too close to it. The wind earned her a wet suit that only stayed warm for a moment…
New: Lava
The fiery colors of swirling lava splash off this work. You can almost imagine the smell of the air as when you would come close. Lava is so hot that rock has melted and solidifies again a little later. This is also how this wonderful artwork is made, but of glass.
