Meet Cathryn Shilling
Cathryn Shilling, a former graphic designer, transitioned to glass art after moving to the USA in 2001. She studied stained and blown glass, later exploring kilnformed glass.
Cathryn's work, internationally exhibited and collected, has earned her recognition in prestigious lists of influential glass artists, including ‘The 18 Most Game Changing Female Glass Artists’. She won the Warm Glass Artists Prize in 2013.
Known for her glass cloth pieces, Cathryn uses traditional Venetian cane techniques to conjure impossible fabrics of light and colour. These shimmering, three-dimensional symphonies defy reality, fusing threads of molten glass into undulating tapestries that pulse with life reflecting her graphic design background and innovative approach to kilnformed glass.
