It’s a busy start to the year for Terrace-based glass designer, Lynn Baker of Studio 14 . She will soon be wrapping up her beautifully handmade glass and shipping it across the world to New Zealand.
Lynn’s work has been selected to exhibit in the UKGift 09 show in Auckland. Organised by UK Trade & Investment, the 4-day show will be held at the British Consulate in March. Lynn’s work will also feature in the show catalogue which will be distributed to buyers, retailers and media throughout New Zealand.
Working from her studio at The Terrace in Lincoln’s Cultural Quarter, Lynn produces hand blown and kiln formed glass bowls, forms and illuminated panels. Lynn gets her inspiration from the changes in light as it travels across the naturally beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds. As the light reflects and refracts off the glass, each piece is both tactile and optically exciting.
Lynn said “I am very excited - this opportunity offers a great way to test out a market with little expense. I think that New Zealand would be a great outlet for my work and if I can generate sales and new buyers, then I hope to follow this up with a visit to Auckland within two years”.
Sandie Griffiths, International Trade Adviser for UK Trade & Investment said “New Zealand enjoys a long history of association with the UK, much of the population is of British descent and the ties remain strong. As the legal and financial processes in New Zealand are similar to that of the UK, doing business is relatively straightforward.”
UKGift 09 will run from 24th to 27th March 2009 at the British Consulate in Auckland.
