Naomi Jacques is a British contemporary artist that works predominately with glass.  She favours the kiln forming process.

In the same year that she graduated from the University of Wolverhampton, attaining a BA (Hons) in Applied Arts, Naomi’s work ‘Mother’ was commended by the Contemporary Glass Society in The Glass Prize 2016.

Working from her studio in Staffordshire in the Midlands, she creates bespoke glass art sculptures.  Inspired by nature and her experiences through life.   Naomi has developed and grown from broken and shattered to finding an inner strength and life can be beautiful and radiant.

Interested in the science behind the making, Naomi relishes challenging and adapting the processes, looking to push the conventional boundaries.  She looks to challenge the usability of the form by material and processes used to create them.  This in turn leads to her formulising her own method of work.

By refracting and reflecting light through her work, Naomi gives her glass sculptures the appearance of diamonds and crystal.  Naomi looks to materialise a nugget of true individual emotion.

Naomi had the pleasure of working with Swarovski® Cut Crystal.  Sampled as a designer to explore the cut crystal in her practice.

With a passion for promoting wellbeing. Naomi runs local art workshops for all ages and abilities, where she teaches kiln-formed crafts.

Naomi’s signature process, ‘Frit Fusion,’ yet it is a poignant aspect of the work, conveying that even when broken and feeling unworthy one can rebuild, strengthen and shine again – broken truly is beautiful.
