Small Membrane vase by TOAST New Maker Rosie Stonham. Previously a homeware designer, she shifted her focus to glasswork while studying at the Royal College of Art. Her hand-blown vessels are informed by a keen interest in biology and the flow of matter between the body and the external world.
Part of her Membrane Glass collection, the vessel is created by blowing glass into a recycled mould made of scrunched-up newspaper. Its shiny finish is inspired by an imagined landscape within the body. Each varies slightly in shape and colour.

Rosie Stonham | Working with Glass
Rosie creates functional design objects that are informed by her interest in biology and the flow of matter between the body and the external world. In her London studio, Rosie creates her vessels by scrunching up old newspaper into rough moulds before blowing the glass by hand. As is the case with the human body, no two forms are alike.
“The pieces examine consciousness and how the material of our bodies generates our immaterial inner life,” she explains. “I’m very interested in narrative expressed through objects.”
