What

  • No longer an archive of finished work this blog will now function as a repository for creative inspiration, sketch book and personal projects all of which would otherwise remain unorganized. Think of these posts as getting a glance into a creative’s notebook.

Who

  • I am Saga Arpino, a light loving city dweller.
  • I am a Royal College of Art trained glass artist specialised in the creative use of glass in architectural contexts.
  • Much of my work is focused on the nature and importance of public spaces and serves to enhance the quality of such spaces. I strive to create appropriate work with purpose, honesty, beauty and function.

Have confidence that the dots will join up.

I've been wondering how to join the dots of my interests and skills.

Architectural details: material choices, language of ornament, craftmanship

Art: wonder, intrigue and play. symbolism, geometry and story-telling. colour, balance and composition.

Urban design: quality public realm, sense of place, way-showing/way-finding

I can see how they join up but have struggled how to put it into some concise words.

Over the coming weeks I'm going to spend some focused time unravelling and weaving these interests.

So when people ask me what I do I can really tell them, instead of giving them a half truth.

So when I see jobs that I want to get, I can explain how and why I'm the best candidate

So when I'm introduced to people I can make the connections that could be fruitful

So I can work on projects that fire me up, that make best use of my skills interests and experiences.

So I can live before I die.
