Aya Oki
is a Japanese artist based in San Bernardino, California. Her technique of glass blowing is intended to express the
true charm of glass. Her personal approach is born during the conversation she
has while interacting with each piece. Her work is created out of her desire to
convey the real pleasure of blown glass.
Aya completed her undergraduate
and master’s degrees in glass at the Aichi University of Education, Japan and her dream of
studying abroad in the States led her to go to California State University,
San Bernardino before completing her MFA at Rochester Institute of Technology
in 2014. Since then, she has been traveling the world as an artist and an
educator.
Her works are in collections around the
world including the Tacoma Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA and The Corning
Museum of Glass, Corning, NY.
