Carrie Paxton Glass Design
Kiln fired glass products using clear glass fired with Frits, enamels, lustres and silverstain - the insipiration being the landscape, sea, skies and wild flora.
Location: Orkney
I make kiln fired panels, curves, windows, bowls & lighting using clear glass kiln fired with frits, enamels, lustres and silverstain.The materials used are traditional but my designs are contemporary. I usually draw freestyle onto clear glass.I fire the glass between each layer of enamel. Most pieces require three firings to achieve the depth of colour and detail. All colour is applied by me. I don't work with manufactured coloured glass.
My background is graphics and my degree is from Edinburgh College of Art. I studied Architectural Glass (BA Hons) and have a post grad. in Design.My surroundings in Orkney inspire my work every day.
