ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I work with glass, using kilns to heat the material, creating new forms from particles or fusing enamel surface decoration onto a piece. CONTACT [email protected] rachel-elliott.com instagram.com/flyingcheesetoastie/ |
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.
