Jade Pinnell creates unique cast glass sculpture that can be seen in galleries across the Uk.

‘Glass possesses qualities that are both beautiful and fascinating. I am captured by its transparency and its ability to hold a moment in time.'

 My current work explores ideas of capturing consciousness and being present in the moment. I have created a series of sculpture which represent moments of stillness and consciousness in my own life; preserving fleeting moments in glass as a reminder.

As a cast glass artist jade works with an array of different materials and mould making techniques. She creates wax and clay models which are then cast into solid glass using the kiln forming technique. Once the pieces emerge from the kiln, Jade then uses a series of ‘cold-working’ processes including grinding and polishing to finish the works.

Jade Pinnell first experimented with glass in 2007, whilst studying 3D design at Wiltshire College. Jade went on to study Decorative Arts at Nottingham Trent University and graduated in 2010 with a First-Class Hons degree. Pinnell proceeded to train at a glass school in Wiltshire and with several cast glass artists in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. During her years as an assistant in the glass industry, her own body of work took shape, taking inspiration from her love of architecture and geometry. 10 Years on, Jade Pinnell now has a glass studio based in Wiltshire where continues to evolve her passion and curiosity of the material.

Jade Pinnell has exhibited nationally and internationally.
