Emma Waller Glass Artist, trained at the University of Wolverhampton and graduated in 1999 with a BA Hons Glass.
After leaving university Emma have started Glacier Glass Studio located in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.
Glass is an exciting medium to work with and has a diversity of applications that lends itself to my creative imagination.
Mixing materials, metals, enamel and glass to create stunning colour schemes and unique patterns offers surprising and often unexpected results in each piece of work whilst still maintaining her unique trademark designs.
As well as providing an outlet in Birmingham, Emma has established herself in excess of fifty outlets throughout the country. Emma has been commissioned to provide art works for placement in galleries, schools, public areas, private organisations, homes and offices where it has undergone favourable public and private scrutiny.
