Hi there, I’m Erin Pell a glass artist based in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. I have over two decades of experience working with hot glass and have collaborated with numerous galleries and gift shops throughout Canada over the years. I've always felt a deep connection with nature and it's balance between resilience and fragility. My work is inspired by this connection, especially to the wild determined ones that seem to grow in the most challenging conditions and the strong bond and associations we have with them. I don't attempt to make exact replicas of nature but reflect the feel and emotion of each plant.

The technique I employ is known as lampworking. It entails melting and sculpting glass rods in the flame of a propane and oxygen torch. I craft each piece without the use of molds or presses, relying solely on a few hand tools like shears and tweezers. This approach ensures that every piece possesses a distinctively organic feel, making each one unique.
