2023 November 19, Maria Haglund, “Inget glaskonstverk för Karlstadsstudenter vid examen – fick vanligt äpple [No glass artwork for Karlstad students at graduation – received a regular apple instead]”, in SVT Nyheter:Studenterna fick symboliskt ett vanligt äpple och ett kort, de kommer få sina glasäpplen skickade till sig. De fick också ta bilder med ett lånat glasäpple, säger Moodysson. Konstnären själv, Ragnar Klenell, är bedrövad. Ugnens kylfunktion var felaktig vilket gjorde att glasäpplena fick sprickor och fick kasseras.- The students symbolically received a regular apple and a card, and they will have their glass apples sent to them. They also had the opportunity to take photos with a borrowed glass apple, says Moodysson. The artist himself, Ragnar Klenell, is saddened. The oven's cooling function was faulty, which caused the glass apples to crack and had to be discarded.
- A glass apple; any apple cultivar that can become translucent under sunlight (or other strong lightsource).
