Samuel Herman Overview
Working from her studio nestled in the heart of rural Devon, Siddy Langley has spent over 30 years mastering the art of hot glass, producing hand-blown pieces that blur the lines between fine art, craft, and the natural world. Her work draws heavily on the landscape that surrounds her, from wind-swept coastlines and forest undergrowth to the textures of moss, bark, and water.
Each piece is crafted using traditional freehand glassblowing techniques, and often features delicate accents of 24-carat gold or fine silver leaf, creating shimmering effects that mimic natural light and organic surfaces. No two creations are alike. Langley’s glass vessels are known for their fluid, asymmetric forms and richly layered colours, which evoke the sensation of looking into rock pools, ocean currents, or dense woodland canopies. Her work connects emotionally with collectors, offering a tactile and contemplative experience as well as visual beauty.
Langley’s personal philosophy is deeply rooted in environmental stewardship and a respect for the handmade. She works in small batches, avoids wasteful processes, and often reuses materials to ensure her practice remains as sustainable as possible. This ethos, paired with her artistic integrity and technical skill, has garnered her a loyal following among collectors, galleries, and design enthusiasts who value both message and method.
