CAPSTONE PROJECT
BUGS AND BERRIES
Bugs and Berries is a wearable sculpture that combines the beauty of nature with the artistry of glasswork. The piece features a fabric skirt and bodice, each adorned with flameworked glass embellishments. Designed to complement a matching jewelry collection, combining my love of nature and craftsmanship.
The skirt is decorated with hand-sewn glass berries arranged to mimic the growth patterns of gardens. To me, gardens represent spaces where families bond and make memories. I wanted this piece to capture the love and joy I’ve experienced with my family, representing those who cultivated the passion that has brought me here.
The bodice showcases a variety of glass bugs, symbolizing the small moments of connection we share with nature and each other. Bugs and Berries is a piece that blends my passion for glass with my personal experiences of nature as a connector between family, life, and the world itself.
