Material Transformed with Meaning.
Refined through Design.
Thoughtfully shaped through craftsmanship, transformation and design intention — contemporary glass works created to hold meaning, beauty and lasting presence in someone’s life.
The Practice
Shaped by Light, Material and Place
Cindy Poole has worked with glass since 1995 — developing a studio practice that transforms material through heat, layering, and design intention into works of lasting beauty.
The practice spans wearable jewellery, sculptural interior objects, meaningful gifting, and commissioned works — each piece approached with the same care: material thoughtfully selected, shaped, hand-worked, surface refined, and made into forms designed to be worn, placed, gifted, and remembered.
“I work with glass because it holds light the way memory holds feeling — subtle, shifting, and never quite the same twice.
Each piece begins with a material that already carries a story. My job is to discover what it can become — something refined, made to last, and worthy of a place in someone’s life.”

Glass Works Made to Be Worn, Lived With, Given and Remembered
Our practice breathes life into glass through expert heat, gravity, and kiln-forming. We work across three distinct material streams, with each bringing different qualities of light, texture, structure, and meaning to the final work:
Worn
Jewellery
Small enough to carry, considered enough to keep. Glass and metal shaped for the hand, made to travel with you.
Used
Vessels & Bowls
Objects that earn their place on a table through daily use — held, filled, returned to.
Decorative
Sculptural Artworks
Standalone pieces where form carries the story — no function required beyond presence.
Gifted
Corporate & Recognition
Given in thanks, earned in recognition, or marked at milestone — pieces made to commemorate rather than to use.
Commissioned
Architectural & Bespoke Installations
For architects and designers: glass worked to spec, from a single sited piece to full architectural scale — made part of the space, not added to it afterward.
