Matthew Adkins

Matthew is a glass artist based in Dorset. He trained in glass and ceramics where the foundations for his love of glass making were forged. He worked in London for one of the UK’s leading decorative glass companies, where he was a key figure in manufacturing kiln-formed architectural glass on an international scale.

After helping to develop bespoke textured glass for designers and architects for so many years, Matthew enjoys making more personal work with the help of his partner Estelle. Matthew and Estelle relocated from London to Dorset in 2016. Their new location means popping to the coast for inspiration is a weekly must.

Matthew employs many of the techniques used in the architectural glass industry to create truly stunning and unique pieces. He draws inspiration from the details of textures and colours which are found around us in the natural world and its landscape. He seeks elegance, precision and simplicity within his work.
