COUTURE GLASS COLLECTION
I have long though about wanting to create wearable glass clothes.
Recently I have been making glass items to be worn using various techniques including painting and casting techniques. At present these items I have been able to wear and will be working on mounting and selling as Objet d’art.
I view these glass clothing items as ‘Cinderella’s Wardrobe’, she had the shoes so why not the clothes?
I love that glass relays a sense of vulnerability and yet strength at the same time. By wearing glass I can create a vision of wearing my fragility on the outside.
In this current collection of items I hope to relay the beauty of the feminine form with the attributes of glass to create striking, elegant silhouettes that hark back to a bygone era and yet retain a modern forward progressive use of glass.
I have been creating mini images via fused glass jewellery which has now been accepted by the local Contemporary Art Gallery Shop (Hastings). Very excited and encouraged by this and I am looking forward to developing my work further, examples of which can be viewed via my profile page, also my general artwork can be viewed by my Instagram page below, shop is still under construction.
I am very involved with the Decorative Arts Society 1850 to the Present

My current work represents my emotions and mental health experience, through colour, texture, and form. The work highlights different sides of my personality using glass colours to describe aspects of my mental health and emotions. The glass texture signifies uncomfortable feelings through rough, matt qualities in contrast to more positive feelings that are glossy and smooth. They are formed into small, delicate spirals and curves. In the darker pieces, the spirals represent a downward spiral; on the lighter side the path leading from outer consciousness to the inner soul.
Poonam Chatlani has been working with glass for more than 10 years. She uses various techniques such as fusing, slumping, pate de Verre, and glass casting.
She has been awarded several national and international awards.
Poonam’s cultural heritage guides her work, reflected in the fusion of elements and forms found in nature and the human body. His inspiration comes from his ethnic roots in India, where the human figure is the main motif.
