Trejayne Glass Studio is a small family business based just outside Edinburgh and home to the glass artist Trejayne.
Over the past 4 years she has taught herself the art of Flameworking – a modern approach to glass blowing that uses a torch rather than a traditional furnace.
Since 2021, she started documenting her learning journey via social media and has gained an audience of over 2 million.
By sharing her honest experiences online, including her trials as well as her triumphs, she hopes to inspire a young generation to take up the dying craft and bring glass blowing back to a modern audience.
In 2025 Trejayne was granted a scholarship to the Corning Museum of Glass in New York where she honed her skills to new heights. Upon return to the studio she launched into her most successful project to date, AI defying food sculptures.
Now she wants to open the doors of her studio in West Linton to share the experience of flameworking with everyone. To host workshops for various projects showcasing the amazing versatility of glass as a medium.
