Bobbie Coleman's interest in glass came from a compelling need to develop her creativity outwith the constraints of the commercial world in which she worked as a successful graphic designer in London during the early eighties. Since moving to Scotland, her time has become more and more occupied with creating her glass work. Over the past ten years she has been developed her glass studio, and skills, at her home in Ceres where creating her unique range of contemporary glass has become her main creative activity.
Her inspiration is nature and the sea in particular, harping back to her days as a child climbing the cliffs and wandering the beaches of Cornwall where she was brought up from the age of eleven.
