Hi, I am Kate Osman.

I am passionate about our oceans and my love affair with our spectacular coastline, our turquoise sea, our wildlife, is an ever evolving one.

Reluctant to see anything go into landfill if it can be reused, I am passionate about making as much use of the random things we as a nation might otherwise discard. From seaside to city nothing is safe from the very real possibility that it may find itself in my studio workshop being transformed - from rescued greenhouse glass and old wooden boxes, to the ocean plastics, ghost fishing nets and tiny pieces of seaglass found amongst grains of sand on the beach. I collect and where possible reuse it all.

We all need to play our part in acting responsibly and if by using some of this awful ocean plastic to create my work I am able to highlight this disaster in a way that helps people to take notice then that is a beginning.

Join me in my garden studio at Marnhull, Dorset for my glass workshops. Contact me for details.
