Ewa Wawrzyniak

Ewa Wawrzyniak Visual Artist (specialised in glass & ceramics

Ewa Wawrzyniak was born in Poland and trained in ceramics and glass at Middlesex Polytechnic and Surrey Institute of Art and Design in the UK. She completed her Master of Arts at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland, where her research explored the technical and expressive possibilities of sand casting glass.

The method she uses to create her work is called sand-casting. It is a technique involving pouring hot glass into a mould made out of special, damp casting sand. It is a fast, free and immediate method of working with glass, requiring a significant physical and energetic involvement of the creator. Ewa has selected this method to create her pieces as it permits a free and unrestricted expression of an idea.

Since 1999 she has been a Part-Time Lecturer in Open Studies in Ceramics & Glass at University of Hertfordshire, UK, and since 2005 she is a regular Visiting Lecturer in Faculty of Art & Design (Glass) University College for the Creative Arts, Farnham, UK. Ewa has shown her work in numerous exhibitions in the UK and abroad.

Her work is widely collected by museums and galleries including Broadfield House Glass Museum Kingswinford, UK, North Lands Creative Glass Lybster, Scotland, and BWA Ksiaz, Poland, as well as many private collections in UK, Ireland, Scotland and USA. Her commissioned works including, "Tree Circles" The entrance to Princess Alexandria Hospital in Harlow, Best Architecture Awards Harlow, Arts & Business East Awards and Art & Business South East Awards in 2007; Down Syndrome Ireland; Forfas Innovation Awards, Ireland; Royal Bank of Scotland; and various private commissions around the world.
