Every piece at Study of Glass begins with fire.
The key material is borosilicate glass, known for its clarity, durability, and scientific precision. Each piece is formed by hand, using lampworking techniques that leave no room for shortcuts. No moulds and no replication - just material, heat, and a moment of control that could easily collapse. That tension is the point.
Every object we make carries memories of how it was shaped. Slight warps, air bubbles, asymmetries are the evidence of the process we try to keep visible.
Our process is slow, guided by instinct and material response.
Founder
Natalie Dubrovska is a graduate of the Royal College of Art in Product Design. Before founding Study of Glass, she spent over a decade building her interior design pracice, with projects published internationally and lived in across continents.
Her work with glass started as an instinct — a way to return to something immediate, physical, and unpredictable. The material demands attention. It reacts to every movement. There’s no second chance — only what happens in the moment.
Glass became a way to think through making. A tool for working with light, structure, and emotion at the same time.
Through her practice, Natalie gives form to ideas that are often felt before they’re understood. Every piece is shaped and tested by hand, balancing intention and imperfection.
At Study of Glass, objects are treated as studies — in tension, in memory, in form.
Jewellery as fragment. Sculpture as lens.
