Mette Paalgard

Mette Paalgard is a glass artist in Henningsvær, Lofoten. Norske Kunsthåndverkere documents her collaboration with Heidi Kristiansen at the Kristiansen & Paalgard hot shop on Engelskmannsbrygga. The artist's name and the shared workshop name are distinct pieces of information.

Her work includes functional objects, sculpture and installations, with glass movement and form central to her presentation. Some works employ silvering, including Spire, a blown-glass work listed under 2025. Silvered glass should not be described as an object made of solid silver.

For a particular work, retain the title, dimensions, material description, signature and purchase history. Workshop affiliation alone does not establish who designed an individual piece. Distinguish documented artistic authorship from general production in a shared studio. Surface lustre, form and colour may assist comparisons, but do not independently establish a reliable artist attribution.
