Catherine Carr Crochets & Knits with Glass

 

Each piece has been individually knitted or crocheted by hand. They are then
heated and manipulated through several firings at a very high temperature,
eventually emerging as a formed glass vessel. Because of this hand crafted
process, all the pieces are original and individual with no two being
exactly the same.

 

By applying these traditional skills to an innovative process of recycled
glass products she produces beautiful and delicate lace structures in which
each individual stitch can be seen and where the openwork design casts
striking dappled shadows.

 

Inspired by the role of women in textiles, especially her Grandmother who
taught her these fading skills and bequeathed her the patterns used, she
hopes to celebrate the history, memories and skills of women workers in the
textile mills of northern England.
