Alex R
Move your mouse over the images to see zoomed detail.
Alex R creates glass which is opulent and seductive. From small glass vessels to large scale installations of glittering glass, intricate surfaces are the signature style of her work. The material itself provides the starting point and she takes her cues from there, revelling in richly layered colour and elaborate surface textures. Each piece explores the magical qualities of glass, a medium which delights the eye and invites the sense of touch.
Since establishing her studio in 2005, Alex has gone from strength to strength working on glass projects for both public and private clients. Her work was selected for the prestigious Glass Biennale in 2006, while commissioned work has won various accolades and prizes (First prize, Stevens Competition for Architectural Glass; shortlisted, Art and Work Awards; Best Glass in Architectural Application, Pearsons Prize; Best Glass in Interiors, Pearsons Prize; shortlisted Most Promising Newcomer at Pulse 2007.
Alex runs the glass courses at Brent Adult Education College and teaches residential courses in kiln formed glass at the highly respected West Dean College in West Sussex, as well as teaching privately from her own studio.
