From her studio at Cockpit Arts in London, Aline designs and produces a range of fused and kiln-formed glass tableware, lighting and vases which she sells through galleries in the UK, Europe and USA. In addition she works to commission on architectural projects in the UK. After graduating in Holland in fashion design, Aline freelanced in Italy for several years. On moving to England she felt motivated to translate her fascination for colour, pattern and surface texture into new media. She studied architectural glass at Central St. Martin's School of Art and Design. Her inspiration is fuelled by her affinity for the Jurassic coast of Dorset where she spends a lot of her time. The vibrant palette of beach paraphernalia, stripes on windbreaks and seaside rock translate with ease into bright designs in fused glass. The sparkling translucency, the fluidity and the ever-changing colour-palette of the sea have immediate relevance to working with kiln-formed glass and provide an infinite source of inspiration.
