Having inherited some beautiful nineteenth century Bristol blue glassware collected by my parents in England after World War II, I fell in love with the intense deep blue of cobalt-infused glass.
I expanded the antique collection with pieces that include Depression era cobalt glass (made just before the radioactive element was banned from glass manufacture), through modern pieces by glass artists, and European makers such as Holmegaard.
In this series, I am inspired by the way in which the shapes of the glass catch and transmit the light, celebrating the essence of Blue.
