Katrina Beattie

My teaching involves a brief background history and demonstration followed by individual practice.

A passion for glass! Experience of making glass and technical information.

Katrina’s Kiln Formed ‘Lattice Bowls’ display a matrix of holes formed. The fascinating process inspired her to push boundaries challenging the use of glass as a vessel which is normally a solid form. Her Kiln Formed ‘Bubble Bowls’ are a further development on from the Lattice Bowls and are inspired by a Glass Blowing technique called ‘Reticello’. This ancient Venetian technique generally has a mesh of white glass threads interwoven to from a grid where small bubbles form in the gaps. Katrina’s interpretation creates intrigue to the viewer who wonders ‘How did those bubbles get inside with such precision & regularity!’ You can also see my work at the Black Swan Gallery, Frome; IO Gallery, Brighton; The Sussex Guild, Lewes; Serena Hall Gallery, Southwold; Green Tree Gallery, Haywards Hetah; Isle Gallery, Isle of Man
