Elizabeth Welch
Lampworked Glass Animal Sculpture
Elizabeth aims to bring a sense of realism to her Lampworked glass animal sculptures. Through her intricate and detailed sculptures, Elizabeth Welch has established herself creating stunning pieces that capture the fleeting beauty and essence of various animals.
Elizabeth Welch’s inspiration stems from the boundless diversity and wonder of the animal realm. With a keen eye for the natural elegance and intricacy of wildlife, she channels her admiration and passion for animals into each sculpture, striving to encapsulate their essence and vitality within the medium of glass.
Beyond the animate world, Welch’s artistic vision is enriched by the legacy of glassmaking. She weaves together classical methodologies and the vibrancy of modern glass art, infusing her work with a sense of tradition and contemporary flair. This blend of influences not only defines the uniqueness of her creations but also reflects her commitment to honouring the age-old craft of lampworking while exploring its potential for innovation and expression.
Recent Work
The pieces Elizabeth creates utilises many different techniques and skills she has developed over the past 12 years.
Blown vessels form the base of some of the larger pieces, crafted in the Stourbridge glass blowing studio with the cooperative team, once the vessels are blown they are prepped and processed for cold working at Red House Glass Crafts located within the college.
