GLASS

STILTWALKERS STUFF

Helen Seth’s work draws inspiration from the landscape and agriculture of the Yorkshire Dales, and the creatures that inhabit them. Her predominant medium is fused glass, which she often combines with other media such as driftwood, felt, and natural objects to create contrasting textures. As a self-taught glass artist, Helen has experimented with techniques to incorporate glass in innovative ways that reflect the organic shapes found in nature.
