Effie Burns

Currently based in Whitby, I established my first glass studio in 1999 and my practice has been continually evolving since then. I enjoy exploring traditional skills such as casting and engraving to create sculptural objects. The themes of my work include fairytales, feminism and the natural world. I have exhibited my work nationally and internationally including shows with Contemporary Applied Arts in London and the Crafts Council in Tokyo.

Last year I received a ’Developing Your Creative Practice’ grant from Arts Council England which allowed me to explore new techniques from gilding to core casting. This has had a huge impact on the work I am making now during Covid-19. I have been collecting natural objects gathered on walks and transforming them through the burnout process into tiny unique cast glass sculptures.
