Black Cat Glass Designs

Black Cat Glass Designs is Becci Meakins and Rich Hamblin. We have been creating glasswork in our garden studio in the Forest of Dean for the last 12 years.

We are inspired by bright and vibrant colour. As a result, our pieces are usually outgoing, vivacious and loud. Pieces which demand your attention. Work which wants to be the star of the show rather than blending in with the background.

The use of bright colour brings us to texture. Because of the loudness of our work, we like to mute it slightly. We do this by sandblasting our brightest artwork. This creates a matte finish which compliments the piece, rather than fighting for attention as a high-gloss finish can do.

Of course, the beauty of glass is its versatility: gloss or matte? Textured or smooth? Blended colours or sharply contrasting? Fusion through varied heatwork means we can emphasise texture or smooth it out; we can dilute colour by stretching the piece through gravity; we can make it robustly thick or almost ethereal with its thinness.

​As glass artists, we like to exploit the endless possibilities available to us by creating a variety of work. The possibilities are endless, which means an enduring fascination with the craft, which we hope reflects in our work. We hope you enjoy looking at it as much as we enjoy creating it
