Unique piece in a random collection
The two collections Echinus and Cassitos were born from Katherine Huskie’s love of handling hot glass and its tactile qualities. Mouth blown and heat pinched, each sculpture is inspired by the sea urchin shells or mussel shells found on the rocks of the British coast. Their rippling texture has inspired her master glassmaking where each piece of glass is individually applied to the surface and thus dictates the final shape of each of her unique pieces with their deep, shimmering colours. Her sculptures can also become vases for stylised bouquets.
