Adam Aaronson has been at the heart of British studio glass for more than 25 years, first as a gallery owner discovering and promoting new glass talent, and subsequently as an artist in his own right. In 1986, Adam opened his own glass blowing studio, which offered residencies to both British and international artists and also marked the beginning of Adam’s personal journey as a glass artist. Twenty years later, Adam’s work has developed and matured and his series known as Stone/Sail/Ripple/Wave represents a vocabulary of forms using the “envelope manipulation” method of glass blowing that Adam pioneered in 2001 and is constantly refining. An early Stone was exhibited at the Cooper Hewitt design museum in New York. Adam’s work has been exhibited all over the world and can be found in numerous private collections from royalty to rock stars. Major commissions include the Royal Academy of Arts in London, Italy’s venerable Salviati glass studio, and the National Art Collections Fund. His work has been selected for the prestigious Sotheby’s Contemporary Decorative Arts exhibition in London, and more recently, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
