About Maria
Maria Badshamiah is a contemporary glass artist whose work is inspired by the belief that art has the power to transform not only spaces, but lives.
Living with dyspraxia, Maria has experienced first-hand how environments, light and sensory stimulation can influence wellbeing. Rather than allowing her diagnosis to define her, it became the inspiration behind a collection of handcrafted sensory glass lamps designed to create moments of calm, comfort and connection.

Testimonials
I have known Maria for almost one year. Over the course of working with her I have been impressed by her voracious appetite to explore new methods & techniques for working with hand blown glass to infuse colour, create structure, and 3d dimensional form to create unique hand crafted light forms for tabletop lamps.
As visible proof of Maria’s’ credibility as an Innovative Glass Designer.
I have personally purchased a bespoke hand blown glass lamp made by Maria as I believe in her, her skills, her abilities and her values.
The glass lamp I purchased from Maria brings me pure joy to view with its’ array of beautiful colours within the glass, this helps to improve my sense of well-being and these tactile qualities of the textural glass make it a pleasure to interact with due to their smooth and inviting touch.
Alongside Marias’ personal soul aligned values that are infused with the innovative inniative of using the recyclable glass created using environmentally friendly methods with natural materials in the creation of the design for her sustainable and ethically designed handblown glass lamps.
Each glass lamp that Maria makes is unique and individually crafted with care & attention to detail. Some of her lamps are specifically designed to appeal to customers suffering with neurodiversity issues. Her research is ongoing into creating lamps specifically to target the wellness, wellbeing industry, and the medical sector.

I recently attended a private viewing of Maria’s glass lamps, and they are truly breathtaking.
Each piece transforms the atmosphere of a space… the light becomes softer, calmer, and feels almost alive. As a yoga teacher, I immediately imagined these lamps in my future studio.
They create a soothing, sensory experience for the eyes and invite a deep sense of relaxation. Perfect for supporting a peaceful, mindful environment during yoga practice. I can’t wait to bring them into my space one day.
