BAIBA DZENITE
Cluster Exhibitor | Cluster Crafts | 2020 & 2022
Baiba Dzenite is an established glass artist and designer, and the founder of the brand BAIBA GLASS.
A graduate of the AAL with bachelor's and master's degrees in Glass Art, she has developed her own unique hot glass techniques, expressed in collectable glass art objects. Baiba has expanded her knowledge and experience through her work in hot glass studios in the Baltic States, Czech Republic and Japan.
Baiba Dzenite specialises in hot glass techniques and glass tinting that elicits a vision of 'painting in glass’.
Baiba draws her inspiration from Nature and its phenomena – fog and dew. The visual language of nature gives expression to Baiba's inner feelings and perceptions of the mysteries of Nature and the hidden beauty of body and mind, encapsulated in layers of clear glass.
The range of her work includes mouth-blown, hot-poured and hand-shaped glass pieces made in a unique way by the use of traditional and innovative materials; the imprint of an antique Latvian heckling comb, a linen-craft tool, has become a distinctive feature of Collection CALM. This archaic artefact, signifying the timeless relationship between Nature’s phenomena and ancient Latvian linen-craft tradition, impresses upon contemporary glass art its symbolic 'imprint of time'
