Inspired by lichens, seeds, fungi, and seaweed, Casson McGarva seeks to translate nature's repetitive patterns and textures into abstracted glass forms. She draws from woodland elements like bark, leaves, and mushrooms from her Burgundy hometown, aiming to evoke personal connections to the natural world through her organic shapes and surfaces.

In her recent work, Casson McGarva combines kiln casting to create textural patterns with hot glass manipulation for organic shaping and cold-working engraving techniques. The resulting pieces are unique, nature-inspired objects embodying her passion for translating the wonder of the outdoors into glass.
