Werner Glinka

Welcome

I grew up in Germany's Ruhr Valley, spent thirty-five years in Silicon Valley, and now live in Minneapolis.

I make art — mixed media assemblages and wall sculptures — at the Center for People and Craft. I write about technology, labor, and what happens when industries leave people behind. And I maintain open-source tools for building websites with Metalsmith.

Three different things, one thread: I've always been interested in how things are made and what gets lost when we stop making them.
