English born designer, Penelope Wurr, has run a successful glass studio in both London, England and Soho, New York. In 1995 Penelope and her family moved to Putney and renovated a 200 year old barn into a home and studio. Penelope, who was trained as a printmaker in England, adapted some of that medium's techniques and invented a new process of applying color and design onto glass. Penelope now holds patents on her process in England and the U.S.

Penelope Wurr hand finishes each of her pieces using her original patented technique of enameling on glass. Penelope's design range from the classic through the abstract to the minimalist. Her work therefore looks wonderful in any interior. Penelope's work is elegant and functional and can be used to hold flowers or simply be enjoyed at things of beauty. Each design is available in several colors.

Penelope Wurr Glass is sold at museum shops, gallaries and fine retail outlets throughout the U.S. Her work is also available on the internet at www.penelopewurr.com.

Penelope's designs are produced in small limited editions and one-of-a-kinds. Her original process creates glass that has a graphic finish which is more reminiscent of textiles than of art glass. Her work includes bowls, vases and tableware. By commission her studio will make screens, interior window glass, and table tops. At the risk of being categorized, she would say that her work is "designer glass" with an original quality all its own.
