KATRINA BEATTIE Glass
Katrina Beattie is a Glass Designer/Maker specialising in Glass Blowing and Kiln Formed techniques. Her exclusive Hand Blown Glass incorporates copper wire inclusions which traps air creating bubbles and casting refractive light. Each individual piece is hand blown in Dartington Crystal and is signed & dated by the artist.
Katrina’s Kiln Formed ‘Lattice Bowls’ display a matrix of holes formed. The fascinating process inspired her to push boundaries challenging the use of glass as a vessel which is normally a solid form.
Her Kiln Formed ‘Bubble Bowls’ are a further development on from the Lattice Bowls and are inspired by a Glass Blowing technique called ‘Reticello’. This ancient Venetian technique generally has a mesh of white glass threads interwoven to from a grid where small bubbles form in the gaps. Katrina’s interpretation creates intrigue to the viewer who wonders ‘How did those bubbles get inside with such precision & regularity!’
