After training at LoCo Glass and the Henry Moore Foundation, she managed London Glassblowing's gallery. In 2018, Laura completed her MA at the Royal College of Art and co-founded a glass studio in London.

Laura's work explores volume, scale, and form interplay, embracing spontaneity in hot glass.

By masterfully cutting cooled pieces, she reveals captivating voids, inviting viewers into a mesmerising interplay of interior and exterior spaces.
