About TheGlassFloristbyDM

Sales 1,877
On Etsy since 2015
  • From design to curation, packaging and posting, The Glass Florist is run by me, Donna Marie from my garden studio.
  • Each flower is made using a select few tools; metal mashers, a graphite marver, a brass shaper, and a pair of tweezers!
  • I hand craft each flower, leaf, bud and bloom from a rod of glass heated to 1200 degrees before manipulated into shape.
  • Each purchase supports me to grow and develop this ancient craft, from the 1st Century BC, through to the 21st Century.
  • I handpick beautiful vases as they are just as important as the gorgeous glass blooms inside.

Lampwork Glass from the 1st Century BC to the 21st Century

Whilst on a trip in Canada back in 2013 I stumbled upon a glass studio up high in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia. I signed up to their lampwork class and it's safe to say the rest is history. I would then make my way up the mountain on the bus every day to practice. I created such a haul of pieces that my luggage was over weight and I had to fill my pockets with beads to fly home!

Lampwork is a technique that dates back to the 1st Century BC, originating in Syria and then more famously in Murano, Italy. I originally developed my skill working on beads and pendants, but 2020 bought about the curation of The Glass Florist. This combined my love of glass work with my fascination with flowers.

Today, I split each day between working full time and designing and creating beautiful designs for my amazing customers. I am always pushing to create more complex blooms, more extravagant bouquets and more luxurious products for you to all enjoy!

Lovely to meet you,
Donna Marie xx
