She calls her collection ‘Joy’ which represents
joie de vivre and believes the positive energy comes out when creating Joy,
passes on to people who wears them. The magical glasswork in Joy is completed
with 925 sterling silver either gold platinated or oxidized and available as
rings, earrings and pendants.Inspired by natural forms, the Universe and the flow
of flameworked glass since childhood, Şebnem Kurtul designs and hand crafts
each one of her jewelry which are one of a kind. She finds glass magical as a
material. Melting and shaping glass while playing with colors and forms is
exhilarating and very meditative for her. She believes when you speak its language
just like any other material, it starts to blossom and puts you in a flow
state.
Holding a BA in product design, she does graphic designing and children’s book illustration as well. In addition to creating, she also shares her passion of flameworked glass with people in her workshops.
