In Full Bloom: Donna Collinson at the Torch | WAMCAST #0100


Listen Later

This week on WAMCAST, we’re joined by Donna Collinson - the flamework glass artist behind The Glass Florist. From a 15-year-old florist to a viral sensation with a year-long waitlist, Donna shares how she found her niche creating intricate glass flower bouquets that never wilt. We talk about the sensory magic of working with glass, the moment a viral video changed everything, and we talk about her invite to the Corning Museum of Glass (in New York) this year May 2025 (which we are attending!)We were so excited to visit Donna in her Northamptonshire workshop. After featuring her in Edition Eleven of We Are Makers, we knew we had to see her process in person - and it did not disappoint. Spending time with people who just get it is so inspiring. Fittingly, we’re releasing this episode the same week Donna heads to New York for her big live demonstration at the Corning Museum of Glass.It’s a story about carving your own path, trusting your creative gut, and building something beautiful from the ground up._______________________
