KIM BRAMLEY GLASS
Kim trained in Fashion & Textile Design at St Martin’s School of Art, London and then worked internationally as a freelance fashion/textile designer, setting up her own business in 1992. Initially she worked with textiles and handmade paper. Since 1999, she has retrained in new techniques in kiln-formed glass and now works with this process in her studios on the remote Isle of Skye and in the Heart of England.
As part of Kim’s commitment to continued training she has attended several masterclasses at Northlands Creative Glass School in Lybster; taught by Jessica Loughlin in 2003, Warren Langley in 2004, Klaus Moje 2005, Alison Kinnaird in 2006 and Emma Woffenden in 2007.
In 2005 Kim was commissioned to create the ’Scottish Arts & Business 2005 Awards’ Pieces.
At the end of 2005, Kim had the opportunity to do a residency in Borlange Glas Verkstad, a glass Co-operative studio in Sweden. She was teaching assistant to the Swedish glass Artist, Ingelena Klenell, on the Studio’s January 2006 course in glass fusing techniques.
In April 2006 Kim worked with Sami glass artist, Monica Edmondson in her studio in Lapland.
In recent years Kim has also worked on various architectural commissions in fused glass alongside her Gallery exhibition work.
Kim’s work is currently exhibited in Galleries throughout Scotland and England.
