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.

The more is more school of floristry

After my Father's funeral in September many people told me that I had done a wonderful job.   Over and over I was told how fitting the service was, and how proud he would have been. It felt important to me to do it well, and I'm pleased that his friends and family felt that I had. Our neighbours said -awkwardly (because you're not really supposed to give funeral ratings)- that it was the best funeral they had been to -'and they'd been to a lot' -

Last week a friend's grandfather died; and her family have asked me to do the flowers. I'm touched and thrilled (if that's alright to admit) So I'll be at New Covent Garden at four am tomorrow morning, to select the 'riot of colour' Opa would have enjoyed.
