british artist Laura Schlotel fused glass Born near London, I have enjoyed making things from an early age. As I grew older, I graduated from toilet tube rolls and match boxes to clay and eventually glass. I enjoy the technical challenge of working with glass and I never tire of the excitement of opening my kiln to see what I’ve created. I am lucky enough to have my studio in the garden of my home, near Shakespeare’s Stratford upon Avon, and much of my work is inspired by what I can see from my window. wom en ART page 29
