@Regrann from @cca_gallery - @catmackglass Catriona Mackenzie's work is created to be cheerful, bold and full of texture. She wants to uplift the viewer with her use of colour combinations and clean feminine shapes. Her inspirations come from the world around her, and the sanctuary she finds within certain environments – walking in the woods in her native Scotland, or sitting having a coffee next to the graffiti of Bristol. She likes the juxtaposition of these different themes, and uses opposites throughout her work. . On display till 4th June. . . . #cambridge #glass #glassart #glassofig #lamella #santuary #CatrionaRMacKenzieGlass #ArtGlass - #regrann (at Cambridge Contemporary Art)

Day 26: why i do this. Because i can't NOT do this! It's a part of me. I've been an artist since birth. I decided when i was 5 that that is what i wanted to be. It's me. A physical creation of who i am. And it's what makes me happy. Whatever hardship i have had to deal with, making is what gets me through. . . . . . #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemaker #whyidothis #CatrionaRMacKenzieGlass #Glassblower #glassofig #designermaker #vocation #profession #inmyblood #mytherapy #expressionofme #artist #joannehawker @joannehawker #Craftsmanship Image credit: @vanessachampion (at Bristol, United Kingdom)

Day 25: packaging. Well I've already talked about the bubble wrap and flo-pak mountain, so I'll mention my branded jewellery boxes. My jewellery is well cared for 😉 . . . . #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemaker #packaging #jewellery #jewelleryboxes #jeweller #jewelleryofig #logo #branding #specialgifts #designermaker #catrionarmackenziejewellery #bristol #bristolmaker #glassmaker #CatrionaRMacKenzieGlass (at Bristol, United Kingdom)

Day 19: helper. Glassblowers tend to need at least one assistant when they are making, so i usually hire my mate @ianbamforthglass. A maker in his own right, he has great taste on music and is always up for a beer and a curry after!

Day 15: Workware. Well, it's hardly the time for glamour! It's usually filthy hot work, so i wear tea-shirts, cut off jeans, sensible shoes, eye prediction and kevlar arm protectors. Sexy, you'll agree 😂 . . . . #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemaker #workware #glamour #kevlar #hotshop #glassblower #shades #glassofig #catmackglass #femaleglassblower #work #heat #heatprotection #healthandsafety #sensibleclothing (at Bristol, United Kingdom)

Day 13: Creative friends. Well, i have a list as long as my arm of incredibly talented mates, but I have to pick my bestie @macdonaldjaimie. We've known each other a long time, we've lived together, she's been my rock through bad times, she's utterly lovely and our mum's have coffee. She makes beautiful jewellery from recycled materials (way before that became fashionable), she written a book, she's a life coach, and she runs creative online courses with @morwhennawoolcock (madecurious.co.uk) . All round top gal, and I love her. Thank you Jay for being my friend x . And i get to see her on Saturday!
