Karin Urmersbach-Niersbach

Functional Contemporary Glass Art

Since 1989 I have been creating this unusual form of glass art. Due to law changes concerning bathroom and accessible windows I started to engrave images onto toughened glass. It gives privacy yet is an art piece. The engraving is a unique approach which I have developed and what sets my work apart from any other glass work. Another unique factor is the combination of engraving and coloured glass. I use the finest glass from Germany and America which is not available in NZ and which I have to import.

My trademark as an artist is in combination of story-telling, beauty and functionality.
