Contemporary glass art handcrafted by me, Sam Burke, in my studio in Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire.
From statement pieces, to add a unique focal point in a room or garden, to smaller pieces which make thoughtful gifts for loved ones. Often evoking fond memories of times or places & always inspired by my fascination with the natural world.
Every piece represents hours of design, creating & firing in my kiln. I use special glass (sheets, small pieces & powders) to create a design & then fire it in the kiln to melt it together. Depending on the outcome that I want to achieve, the piece may go back into the kiln for a second & third firing to complete it. Every firing takes on average 20 hours in the kiln.
I love to explore textures & colours & create sculptures, wall panels, pictures, bowls, decorations, coasters & candleholders.
You can view & purchase at exhibitions & events or my online gallery throughout the year.
