sarah luke glass artist
I live is a lovely Leicestershire village with my three grandchildren and two
cats. Life is constantly busy, but every available moment I have you will find
me at my desk designing and making, or in my workshop adding the finishing
touches to a piece. I love working with glass. It is a medium with endless
possibilities, it is unpredictable, sometimes difficult to control but when it
works it is just beautiful. I have been working with glass for over five years.
If you look at my work it is clear to see that I am inspired by nature, the sea,
flora, trees, landscapes, and I bring elements of all of these into my work. I
am lucky that I have been able to spend time learning from some inspirational UK
glass artists, Claire Hall in Somerset, Laura Hart in Suffolk and Roberta Ayles
in Devon. All have passed on different and varied skills that have helped me
progress as a glass artist. My signature pieces are my fairy pictures. Each one
is individual, each one has a link to nature. Most of these are now commissions
and I am always overjoyed when I get asked to make a fairy picture. This year I
am beginning to discover other materials to work with including silver clay and
enamel on copper. The future may involve me exploring ways of combining the
different materials to see what can be produced and achieved. Due to a variety
of reasons I have come to art later in life, but in retrospect this is the right
time for me, what I do makes me happy, I know I am very lucky to be able to say
that. Please have a look at my shop and also my events page to see what I am up
to next. And thank you for visiting and reading.
