Carole Waller

2007 QEST Scholar - Glass work
Somerset

Carole is a painter who specialises in working on ‘unprimed canvases’ to make one-of-a-kind art to wear in the form of clothing and scarves. She also makes architectural glass by laminating her fine painted fabrics between toughened glass for indoor or outdoor applications. She has a BA Hons in Painting and MA in Fine Art Textiles.

Awards include a major research and development Award from Arts Council England in 2005 and a QEST Scholarship in 2007 to further her studies in glass painting and enamelling. Carole became a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Painters and Stainers in 2011 and has sold through Harvey Nichols, Liberty of London, Fenwick of Bond St, and Contemporary Applied Arts in London.  Carole welcomes visitors at her studio and showroom just outside Bath. 

My glass work involves the lamination of paintings on fine fabric between two layers of glass. The resulting artwork can be incorporated into any context in which toughened glass would be appropriate – doors, windows, balustrades, furniture and decorative free standing screens and panels, alongside their function as paintings. Aesthetically, the combination of the monumentality of glass with the fragility of the fabric brings a stunning collaboration of light, colour, image and surface. The glass is suitable for an interior or exterior space – and as garden sculpture bringing colour into the garden all the year round.
