Amelia Burke

Amelia Burke gained her degree in Three-Dimensional Design BA(Hons) specialising in hot glass from Manchester Metropolitan University. With the goal of widening her skill set, after finishing university, Amelia travelled to several glass studios volunteering her time including working with Charlie Macpherson at Notarianni Glass. Amelia then moved on to working at The World of Glass in St Helens and Amelia now works as part of E&M Glass, a family run hot glass studio based on the Welsh border, making her own creations with her husband as well as the studio glassware.

 

Amelia’s work is about taking tiny close-up details of the natural world, such as butterfly wings and fern fronds and reinterpreting them using hot glass to produce glass art. Patience and Amelia’s contemporary glass go hand in hand. The detail she aims to create in her work is time consuming but necessary to the process.
