The Beachside Kiln
Kiln-formed glass, handmade in Brighton
Becky fell in love with glass during a trip to the Kosta Boda glass blowing factory in Sweden at the age of 10. A brief flirtation with glass blowing several years later proved that a love for making was definitely there, but also that hot shop glass isn’t a practical home hobby! She eventually invested in a kiln and now mainly produce decorative glass vessels using a specific kiln-forming technique that gives fused glass a look and feel close to that of blown glass.
Becky’s work explores the relationship between folklore, the natural world and science: Everything from Ley Lines to reflecting pools; the turn of the seasons to the planting cycles that provide our food; the origin of medicines to the life-sustaining wonder of fungi and lichens. Just like the environments that influence her designs, Becky’s work is tactile as well as visual: It invites you to look, feel and form a connection that captures your imagination, hopefully for years to come.
