Caroline Grant Glass Art Gallery/Studio - Open Studios

A unique chance to see a glass artist working in a studio. Using glass sheeting, powder and graded frit. Including the kilns & tools used.

I am a contemporary glass artist just following my heart. Looking at texture, colour, shape & form as I move along on my journey.

My greatest love… the element of water. It has captivated me since childhood & it seems right, that liquifying glass in a kiln should (and does) energise my soul.

2022 an exciting New Year, this is bringing with it a new horizon. I have a pulling force towards experimenting with a new medium, to me anyhow, Encaustic hot wax. It’s an ancient art form of painting with heated wax and applying it to the chosen substrate.

My body of work is varied due to not wanting to specialise in any particular style or technique, preferring the joy of freedom, exploration & expression.

This year 2022 is also seeing the opening of my new gallery that sits beside my studio. The building had been an old pigery. We have worked towards transforming the space, modernising it, bringing in the sense of space, light & energy, yet still keeping the presence of its history.
I have brought modern, brightly lit display units to enhance the selection of work produced. Starting with my ever-popular selection of design coasters plus dishes, garden & wall art. Along with pieces of my glass jewellery.

Adjourning the gallery by way of a specially designed gate is the new meditation room. Here, guided meditations will take place. Calming mind, emptying it of everyday chatter, providing space/room for creativity to enter. The meditations will be by appointment only. However, meditations will not be taking place during the Open Studio event.

Please pop by and enjoy time looking around the studio (where it all happens!) and the gallery, along with your complimentary cuppa in your hand.
