ARTIST, LITTLE BLUE STUDIO

Industry : The Arts

Nattha “Tonaor” Charoenpanich is a Thai glass artist whose work reflects a curiosity of fluid form from natural surroundings. She earned her bachelor's degree in Jewellery Design from the Faculty of Decorative Arts at Silpakorn University, where she developed a strong foundation in craft. Driven to explore, Nattha pursued a Master’s degree in Glass from the Faculty of Art, Design and Media at the University of Sunderland in the UK. During her time in the UK, she exhibited her work in two solo shows: Intangible (2013) at Bed’s World in Sunderland, and Tangible (2014) at the University of Sunderland’s Gallery.

In 2023, Nattha was awarded a prestigious scholarship from BGC Glass Studio to attend the 34th Niijima International Glass Art Festival in Japan. There, she honed her flameworking skills and engaged with global artists in a dynamic cultural exchange. Through opportunities like this, Nattha brings her knowledge to teach children who want to explore this form of art. Today, Nattha runs Little Blue Studio, her creative base for glass art, design, and craft practice. Her studio also hosts workshops in Hua Hin, where she shares her skills and passion for glassmaking with the public.
