With early roots in textiles, Marna Clark has transformed her love of fabric into glass. The liquid nature of the glass brings an organic look and feel to her work. The play of color and light, along with the fluidity and transparency that glass brings to her designs, infuse a unique lace-like quality into the forms that maximize the qualities of glass to it’s fullest potential.

Marna creates her pieces in her studio in Berkeley California. Her flameworked jewelry designs use thin, thread-like pieces of glass that she stretches, bends, winds and fuses together to make the three-dimensional one-of-a-kind works of art.

Marna Clark has had a diverse history of flamework training, from her studies in Murano, Italy where she learned Venitian flamework and color techniques, to San Miguel Allende in Mexico where she studied with flamework pioneer Susan Plum. Marna has also studied flamework at the Penland School for Craft, and has attended many intensive flamework workshops throughout her 10 years of working in glass.
