Katie-Ann Houghton

Katie-Ann Houghton is a mid-career glass artist and designer based in Canberra who specialises in glass blowing.

Katie-Ann’s work challenges the culture of mass consumption by creating pieces with innovative design and handmade quality. Her design philosophy is based around the idea that the objects that we engage with every day should engage our senses and bring us joy through use.

Designed to be both functional and practical, her production range, which includes CGW Signature’s Conversion series and Sapphrie Vase, aims to change the conventional expectations of tableware and have us view each piece as both a piece of contemporary design and an object of use.
