Artisan Makers, Artists & Writers

Interview with Artisan Glass Maker Emma Mackintosh Bridget Maddison explores the fascinating world of Flame Worker Emma Mackintosh by interviewing her in her studio in the English Lake District. Emma is a hugely talented glass worker who creates intricate pieces inspired and textured from the nature around her. She has developed wonderful ways of taking the colours and textures of the Lake District and embedding them into her work. She works glass from a Bench Mounted Flame rather than a traditional furnace. We first met Emma when we visited her to produce a short documentary film about her work. This interview is expanded version of the one used in the film, the Chrome35 podcasts allows us to share the longer version of the original interview.
