Daniel Rollitt is a photographer and glass and ceramic artist and works in many different contexts. Since graduating in 2018 he has set up a studio in Welton, Lincolnshire where he continues to produce glass artworks for exhibitions and a range of gift-ware for craft fairs. His ceramic work is inspired by landscape and botanical themes and adorns interiors and gardens alike.

Glass specialisms include: Stained glass window design and construction using lead came/copper foil, 3D cast glass sculptures, 2D slumped wall pieces/items.

I am a glass and ceramic artist specialising in kiln-formed sculptural, architectural, and site-specific artwork.
Traditional and digital techniques are often combined to create work based upon my observations of the natural world.
I exploit glass’s unique material properties, including its transmittance of light, and optics, often incorporating depth and multiple perspectives into my work.
I’m currently exploring the theme of intangibility and hidden elements.
I often sculpt in clay or wax before casting in glass using lost-wax techniques.

Credentials

Biography

I previously worked in the civil service for over 7 years, teaching myself photography and visiting gardens in my spare time. I entered local, national, and international competitions with varying success. Upon being made redundant in 2013, I decided to reskill in a career I enjoyed. I undertook a variety of craft-related courses at Lincoln Castle`s Heritage Skills Centre and The National Centre of Craft & Design. I could see the potential in glass fusing but wanted to learn other glass techniques and so after taking a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design and specialising in 3D Design, I decided to study Glass and Ceramics at The University of Sunderland. I graduated in 2018 and returned home to Lincolnshire where I have established a studio and continue to work in both glass and ceramics.
