The enchanting beauty of Picnic Blanket Jewellery is accomplished through the ancient craft of Lampwork. To translate her visions into tangible glass objects, Katie uses the intense flame of a specialist torch to melt and sculpt her miniatures. 

Lampwork is time-consuming and requires incredible dedication to mastering the craft. This astonishing art can be traced all the way back to the 5th Century BCE. The process begins when the glass colours are selected, and once the torch ignites the magic can begin. The glass is heated until molten, wound, manipulated and sculpted until the finished piece is perfect. The final charm is fired in a kiln, ensuring its strength and longevity for years to come.

Katie quickly fell head over heels in love with glass the first time she wielded a rod. As a friend to all animals, she embarked on an enchanting journey of design and craft, surrounded by her miniature companions. With Picnic Blanket she is doubtless leading a lampworking revolution, and hopes that the brand's patronage will encourage a resurgence of the craft, thus preserving its future for generations to come.
