Also in 2025, the Sint Walburgiskerk in Zutphen will be the beautiful backdrop for the Zutphen Glass Expo on 1 and 2 November. Just like last year, Rineke Nijssen and Carolin Zibulka exhibit their work together under the title “Reflections in Glass”.

Inevitably, summer is coming to an end. Autumn begins, trees change colour. In America, they call that period the Indian Summer. It inspired Rineke to make her own Indian Summer, warm, red, beautiful to see.

Too bad that the summer is passing, but Rineke can also enjoy a foggy walk in the morning. Especially if it’s not too early….

The round open shape of a tulip was the inspiration for making Tulip. It continues to amaze that you can turn a straight, flat sheet of glass with sharp edges into such a round, smooth and organic work of art. Rineke gets happy from that result and enjoys the shapes and colors of the clear glass. Nice and sunny!

On September 7, 2025, you can admire both glass 3D objects and some bronze sculptures by Rineke during the annual Art Village of the Kunstkring Sint Anthonis.

Rineke experiments with working with square plates of glass that she calls pixels. This is how Sugar was created, a double-sided crystal with a clear iridescent core. Isn’t it sweet?
