Glass articles - Glass Makers and Artists |
Louise Tait is an artist, working primarily in kiln formed glass from her studio in rural Renfrewshire. She was formerly a current affairs journalist working in TV, radio and newspapers, where contrasting lives and events was a major feature of her daily routine. Now in her art, she is still looking for contrasts – the known with the unknown, the light with the shade, the rough with the smooth.
Over the years, Louise has studied with, and been inspired and challenged by, some of the world’s glass masters – Vaclav Cigler and Dana Zamecnikova from the Czech Republic, Tessa Clegg, Alison Kinnaird ,Emma Woffenden and Jane Bruce from the UK, Warren Langley & Jess Loughlin from Australia, Silvia Levenson from Argentina, Ann Wolff from Sweden, Mieke Groot from the Netherlands and Irene Frolic from Canada.
Shaped by her journalistic history, narrative is important to Louise, so her work usually has a ‘story’ to it and sometimes includes and is shaped by found objects.
Louise was a 2008 finalist in the Bullseye E-merge competition for emerging glass artists in Portland, Oregon, USA and she is a board member of Northlands Creative Glass in Caithness, Scotland.
