Minori Takagi
Born in Shizuoka, Japan, glass artist Minori Takagi began studying flameworking glass in 1997. Since moving to Vancouver, Canada in 2006, Takagi has been incorporating new elements into her ancient style. Her jewellery uses soft glass as well as borosilicate glass, a substance more durable than the typical soda-lime variety of glass. When she moved to Canada in 2006, her style evolved and she began to blend traditional designs with her unique impressions of “west coast modern.” By fusing her traditional Japanese techniques with modern Canadian inspiration, She developed a new style of “wearable art.
