Okra Glass

Established in 1979, Okra glass is one of the most successful glass studios working in Britain today. Based in Stourbridge, West Midlands, which is regarded as the birth place of British glassmaking, glass artists Richard Golding, Karinna Sellars and Dean Hopkins continue the heritage, by producing inspiring objets d'art of the highest quality.

By combining traditional glass making techniques with imagination, the Okra style is instantly recognisable and has taken many years to perfect. Working with the most demanding of creative materials, they continue to unveil new possibilities in the rhythm and dance of glassmaking.

One of the keys to their success is the development of their own unique recipes for clear and coloured glass, combined with constant exploration of surface decoration.  Like the great glass artists Tiffany, Galle and Daum, they have created a distinctive colour palette of rich tones and beautiful iridescent effects that are now the hallmark of Okra.
'Each piece tells a story that captures your imagination and curiosity, bringing a world of light and colour to your surroundings. Every time you look, you discover new details and the secrets held within.'

Every piece is personally hand made, carrying a part of the artist with it - a timeless record of Richard, Dean and Karinna's skills - which is why with over 30 years of experience - new designs by the Okra team are eagerly awaited by collectors worldwide.
