Tim Rawlinson studied Ceramics and Glass at Bucks New University, graduating in 2011. He exhibited his degree work that year at New Designers in London.  He met Peter Layton, who invited Tim to do work experience at London Glassblowing.  Following this Tim became a member of the team there.

Tim’s work has been prominent in the Gallery at London Glassblowing. His work has also been shown at Collect at The Saatchi Gallery since 2014 and this has led to Tim’s inclusion in Europe’s most prestigious exhibitions, ‘The Coburg Glass Prize’ in Germany and the International Glass Prize at the GlazenHuis in Belgium. 

It’s mesmerising to see the beautiful colours and effects in Tim’s work.  His beautiful sculptures are objects of curiosity and contemplation.  

He is fascinated with the way light passes through glass and this informs his work. He exploits transparency, as an essential and primary quality, manipulating and distorting both colour and form.  The refractive qualities of glass in Tim’s pieces, create optical effects, creating an architecture of light and colour.
