Jo Mitchell

Joanne's work explores the metaphorical qualities of air and glass, often incorporating the human form. Her practice combines the innovative use of waterjet cutting and kiln-forming to control the form of air entrapment within the internal space of glass for personal expression, a technique she developed during her PhD research. Her work is currently in the collections of the Shanghai Museum of Glass, the National Glass Centre, U.K. and the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung Foundation, Germany.

Jo’s PhD had a transformative effect on her work. Her research combined new digital technologies and traditional kiln processes to precisely control complex form and imagery of air entrapment in glass, in ways which were not previously possible in kiln-forming. Recent exhibitions include ‘CGS at 25 Years: Then, Now, the Future’ at Stourbridge Glass Museum and the British Glass Biennale, 2022. Her piece ‘Deconstructed Being IV’ was selected for the International Exhibition of Glass 2022, Kanazawa, Japan, where it received the prize ‘Honourable Mention’. Jo works from her studio in Newcastle and is also a technician at the National Glass Centre.
