Leenknegt jan, Ronse

Elisabeth Leenknegt designates herself silversmith, designer and glass artist in heart and soul. She descends from a family of passionate glass artists. Following that tradition, Elisabeth herself makes and designs jewellery out of hand forged silver and mouth-blown glass. They are characterized by a playful design and a great amount of colouring. Humour is the main ingredient of her work. Besides her (international) recognition and an ever expanding fan base, she has been promoted since 2008 by “ Design Flanders” . Her work is sold in museum shops, fashion boutiques and art galleries. On Valentine’ s Day 2009 she opened her own concept gallery in Ghent, Belgium.
