Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Karen Lawrence studied Three-Dimensional Design at the University of Buckinghamshire, specialising in silversmithing. She spent a period working as a studio assistant at Dartington Glass and then in 1983 joined the London Glassblowing Workshop, initially to help develop the facility to electroform onto glass (started by Anna Dickinson, see 47). Her interest in glass, which had started at college following classes with Sam Herman (b.1936), was crystallised whilst working with the London Glassblowing Workshop, and she went on to develop ambitious, architectural-scale works in this medium establishing a full-time studio in London in 1998. Her two-metre-high Glacier was awarded the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers award in 2002 and in 2008 she completed a pair of doublesided kiln-cast and etched glass screens entitled Waterscape Panels for St Thomas’ Hospital in London. As Peter Layton, her former colleague from London Glassblowing Workshop, said, ‘Perhaps her greatest success in the field was the ability to translate the fragile light-capturing qualities of pâte de verre to an architectural scale.’
