About the
Artist
Working within
my studio in the Dandenong Ranges, I express my passion
for glass by working the many techniques available to
the medium, both modern and traditional. From classic
to contemporary - windows and wall art, jewellery, bowls,
platters and trophies.
I create windows to order,
taking commissions for churches, architects and homes.
Each design and pattern is specifically made to the
client request, making each piece individually tailored
and unique.
My Art, embodies many forms of sculptural glass,
encompassing the organic and liquid nature of this exquisite
medium. From kiln formed, to hand painted, stained glass
pieces .
"I have a wide and versatile
range of designs, techniques and mediums with which
I display the versatility of glass."
" I love to create works
which are unique, trapping organic matter within kiln-fired
glass and using found or recycled materials. I need
my pieces need to be pleasing to the eye, balanced,
original as well as distinct."
I run classes in all above mentioned techniques,
from my studio in the Dandenong Ranges, showcasing and
distributing my Art and Jewellery throughout Australia.
Kirsten Laken is an award winning glass artist, trade
certified and with over 20 years of experience. Her
passion for glass is portrayed through out her work.
