Flow Glass is a small business run by myself Fiona with my husband Steven helping out with glass cutting and making wooden bases for tea lights. Our daughter Daisy also helps make fused glass and the Daisy range is her design. We have a small studio on the outskirts of Kirkwall, Orkney which overlooks Scapa Flow.
We are inspired by the natural environment here in Orkney especially the colours of the sea and beaches. After experimenting with fusing sand in some of our pieces we now have several ranges incorporating sand from Scapa Beach here in Orkney. The rich colours of the land and the many blues and greens of the sea and sky are incorporated in our pieces.
The Rainbow range came from loving the way light shines through the glass and casts colourful shadows and rainbow colours really work well for that. As the business have developed we’ve introduced more shapes moving from flat pictures and hangings to three dimensional waves and curves.
We also have popular flower ranges inspired by the shapes and colours of Daisies, Clover, Thistles and Cow Parsley.
