London based architectural glass artist Kate Maestri works to commission on a wide range of private and public art projects throughout the UK and internationally.  

Working in collaboration with architects and engineers, she designs site-specific installations that are an integral part of the building. Her artworks fuse modern technology with traditional, mouth-blown stained glass and screen-printed ceramic enamels to produce the luminous colours that characterise her work. 

Major commissions during her two decades of practice include a 200-metre balustrade for the Sage Music centre in Gateshead, with architects Foster + Partners, a five-storey wall for Arlanda airport, Stockholm, an entrance pavilion for Amazon’s offices in Seattle and stained-glass walls along the main concourse of Dortmund railway station in Germany.

Kate also works on a smaller scale, creating stained glass wall sculptures for exhibition and to private commission. These three-dimensional works, often inspired by modernist architecture, are cantilevered from the wall to create an illusion of floating colour. 

She holds BA and MA degrees in Public Art from Chelsea School of Art and is a post-graduate in Architectural Glass studies at Central St Martins. She is a Freeman of The Worshipful Company of Glaziers.
