PENELOPE WURR
Artist Bio
English born designer, Penelope Wurr, has run a successful glass studio in both London and New York City. Her studio is now located in a renovated 200 year old barn in Putney, Vermont. Trained as a printmaker in England, Wurr adapted some of that medium’s techniques and invented a new process of applying color and design onto glass. Wurr holds patents on her process in England and the U.S. The process involves a combination of sandblasting and translucent enamel overlay to create a graphic finish more reminiscent of textiles than of glass. Penelope's pieces are finished by hand and are made in small limited editions.
