Fatmagul Aaltonen – Oxfordshire Artweeks

155 Fatmagul Aaltonen

Region: Watlington – South & Vale

Artform: Glass

My glass work is based on texture and definition with many overlapping layers filled with small glass particles. I prefer to work with transparent glass, which sparkles with light; either on a windowsill reflecting the day light or on a mantel piece twinkling with candlelight. I aminfluenced by nature’s colours, especially the Chilterns, where I live and the Mediterranean sea, where I come from. My ornamental or functional pieces are created from sheets of glass, which are cut to shape and size and fired in my kiln called “Pablo” in my home studio. I exhibit regularly at Oxfordshire Art Weeks and at various fairs and markets around Watlington. Future events are listed on my website, www.sparkling-glass.com. I accept commissions and offer workshop to small groups. To find out more get in touch on 07748961761 or fatmagul@sparkling-glass.com
