SGT Poster Session

The Luminaire collection represents a unique fusion of British manufacturing craftsmanship and contemporary design, to showcase innovation and beauty in scientific glasswork while addressing some of the challenges faced by the industry.

​

Drawing inspiration from the long history of manufacturing in the UK (and the culture of production), the collection breathes new life into found objects by treating them as exquisite jewels by adapting them to be worn on the body. From space exploration through to innovations in medical science, the intricate glass components serve as a testament to the vital role that this industry plays in pushing the frontiers of knowledge and technology. A celebration of the craftsmanship to reveal intriguing hidden worlds of innovation and discovery.

This body of work places value on imperfection, highlighting opportunities for further exploration, of circularity. By reimagining materials which can’t be used for their original intended purpose, demonstrates how environmental impact can be reduced whilst creating new market opportunities.

 

Fostering a culture of cross-pollination and creativity is dedicated to the enduring legacy of craftsmanship in the face of change, where tradition and innovation converge to create something new.
