Gemma Hollis Glass

At 25 years old, I have channeled my lifelong passion for art into becoming a dedicated glass artist. In May 2024, I took the leap to establish my own glass blowing business after gaining invaluable experience working in various studios. I meticulously design and create every piece of glass myself, traveling to a hot shop near Slough to execute my craft. After shaping the glass, I complete my work in my parents' garden, dreaming of the day I can open my own hot shop and studio in Northamptonshire.

My vision includes offering classes, demonstrations, and creating original pieces. Currently, my inspiration stems from the beauty of nature and wildlife, as well as the intricate designs found in William Morris prints. Each creation reflects my journey and the influences that have shaped my artistry.
