| Since graduating I have worked as a glass blower and studio assistant, as well as a glass blowing teacher in various studios around the world including Estonia, New York, and the UK. In 2017 I decided to continue my education by enrolling in a masters of arts in 3D Design Crafts in Plymouth College of Art in Devon, England. I am due to complete my studies here later this year in September. | Since graduating I have worked as a glass blower and studio assistant, as well as a glass blowing teacher in various studios around the world including Estonia, New York, and the UK.

| To begin to answer this question I examined mechanical joints and connections and looked to the certainty that they provided. After a lot of failed material testing, it happened almost naturally that I turned to the on-site FabLab in Plymouth College of Art for their ability to rapid prototype items made in the workmanship of certainty, that could work with the variables that handmade glass, made in the workmanship of risk, provides. | To begin to answer this question I examined mechanical joints and connections and looked to the certainty that they provided.

| ‘It combines engineering expertise (in terms of design for reliability, maintainability, reparability, upgradability) and socio-psychological expertise (understanding “product attachment” how and why people value a product enough to sustain its use).” (Tonkinwise, 2014, p209). | ‘It combines engineering expertise (in terms of design for reliability, maintainability, reparability, upgradability) and socio-psychological expertise (understanding “product attachment” how and why people value a product enough to sustain its use).” (Tonkinwise, 2014, p209). | ||
| - | It is through this process that I aim to create more sustainably designed glass objects. By using co-designing methods with my clients through rapid prototyping computer programmes such as Rhino, the emotional investment between the user and the object already begins to exist. Computer-aided design drawings render and 3D printing prototypes mean that the design can be easily adjusted before a single glass object is made using energy-guzzling glass melting kilns- therefore decreasing the likelihood of multiple remakes before the client is happy with the result.

| + | As well as looking at the beginning of the life span of an object, I look towards the latter part. How can ensure that the object is repairable, and upgradable? For this I design clever, simple mechanical fixings that allow my glass components to come together and apart while maintaining the material integrity of each part | ||
