Glass Making & Stained Glass

About Naomi
Naomi Jacques is a contemporary glass artist/maker who works from her own studio in Staffordshire. Conceptually inspired and process led, Naomi makes unique works often creating a series of pieces that challenge the medium of glass through the kiln-forming process. The sculptures, which seem impossibly fragile, are strong enough to support themselves. Naomi’s work has been described as looking like diamonds, crystals, and ice. Commissions considered. Please contact Naomi with your detailed brief including budget and timescale.

Biography Back to top

Process and concept inspired contemporary glass artist Naomi Jacques works with Bullseye® glass to create delicate yet strong glass sculptural works.

Creating work out of a material that is perceived as fragile and in some cases dangerous aids Naomi to explore fragilities, strengths and challenge these complex issues in a metaphorical and aesthetical way.

Her sculpture forms are inspired by nature. Constantly seeking to achieve simplicity that is sensually pleasing to the eye and to the touch.
