Gini Heart

Anona Wyi is a glass blower working in Northamptonshire. She has been making and designing blown works of art since the 1990's, crafting functional table ware pieces to sculptural one offs. Enjoying the process of making, her works are colourful, practical, unusual and unpredictable, from Scandinavian clean clear jug sets to colourful stripy steamed cocktail glasses. Inspired by the actions involved in gathering hot molten glass, predicting the timing of each heat, the choreography of every movement effecting the hot moving form, is enough of a reason to keep on making glass. She holds a Degree in Glass and Sculpture from the University of Wolverhampton, Graduate of the international Glass school in Brierly Hill and Orrefors School of Glass in Sweden. She now teaches alongside making her own works.
