Marna Clark

With early roots in textiles, Marna Clark has transformed her love of fabric into glass. The play of color and light, along with the fluidity and transparency that glass brings to her designs, infuse a unique lace-like quality into the forms that maximize the qualities of glass to its fullest potential. The liquid nature of the glass brings an organic look and feel to her work. Marna creates her pieces in her studio in Berkeley California. Her flame-worked jewelry uses thin, thread-like pieces of glass that she stretches, bends, winds and fuses together to make the three-dimensional one-of-a-kind works of art.

Marna has had a diverse history of flame-work training, from her studies in Murano, Italy where she learned Venitian flame-work and color techniques, to San Miguel Allende in Mexico where she studied with flame-work pioneer Susan Plum. Marna has also studied flame-work at the Penland School for Craft, and has attended many intensive flame-work workshops throughout her 12 years of working in glass.
