Emsie Sharp has worked as a glass maker for over 25 years perfecting her craft working in many renown glass studios including a rare opportunity to work in Venice with the undisputed masters of her craft on the island of Murano.

Now running her own studio in Dorset Emsie’s experience at Murano evidently still influences her work today. Emsie makes her beautiful lamp bases embracing the time pressure of working in glass, a highly temperamental material that can only be worked on while molten and malleable. Each piece is made free hand, using callipers for measuring to produce her perfect but unmistakably handmade lead crystal lamps.
