enjoy delving into the Artists' Biographies
Marian Day
I create glass art that blends traditional and contemporary techniques, using repurposed glass to add history and sustainability. With 40 years of experience, I began with leadlight windows and Tiffany-style lamps, returning in 2001 with a nature-inspired focus.
Living close to nature, I draw from birds, insects, and landscapes to inform my designs. My work explores transformation, preservation, and time, embracing imperfection and renewal.
By reclaiming glass, I highlight its artistic potential and aim to inspire a deeper connection to nature, materials, and the value of craftsmanship.
