Miranda Swift is a full-time artist in Brighton working predominantly in glass. Her unique pieces of kiln-formed glass combine functional form and fine art concepts, with each piece exclusively designed and made by the artist.

Originally from a background in interior design specialising in artistic paint finishes, she went on to complete a BA Honours in Fine Art/Sculpture at Brighton University.

Miranda appreciates working with glass, a difficult but beautiful medium and has created both large scale installations and a range of smaller articles, including decorative pieces for the home and jewellery.

Kiln formed glass covers the techniques of fusing, slumping and casting glass into various forms. Colours, wires and inclusions are then incorporated to create sculpted forms or functional articles.

Influenced by nature, the elements and facets of alchemy, she takes strong influence from the concepts of both conscious and unconscious thought processes creating a bridge between her craft and conceptual fine art training.

Individual commissions are welcomed by the artist and she is happy to arrange visits to her studio by appointment. For more information feel free to contact her at info@mirandaswift.com 07956546994 		flowers
"All the jewellery, bowl forms, platters, mirrors and coasters on this web site are individual, hand-made kiln formed glass art works which I have designed and made by myself. They are not mass produced, machine made items, so each one will be slightly different. Many of the bowls and other articles shown are designed to be used. Glass is a strong material as long as it is handled with reasonable care. Commissions to create individual designs are welcome."
