ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Rachel's work is primarily representational as she thrives in the technical challenges in capturing exact details in glass with the unexpected troubleshooting element keeping her constantly engaged with the material. Through this precision she attempts to explore contrasting concepts of fragility both within herself and the natural world around us.

ARTIST'S BACKGROUND
I discovered glassmaking as an evening class over twenty years ago which led me to study Architectural Glass full time at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating with my BA (Hons) degree in 2007. Although I also learnt glassblowing during that time and have had the privilege to experience world renowned artists in this field, it’s never been a technique that I’ve had ideas for. It is the more solitary processes of kiln forming that I chose to establish my studio to facilitate.
