KT Hancock is an emerging artist based in Seattle, Washington. With a background in metalsmithing and glassblowing, she incorporates both mediums into her work. Her pieces demonstrate an interest in the idea of preciousness. The gem-shaped objects convey an idealized adornment piece for the body. Although not wearable, these objects reflect an inherent cultural, physical and sentimental value. KT has a Bachelor’s degree in metalsmithing and sculpture from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and has also attended and worked at Pilchuck Glass School, an educational institution founded by Dale Chihuly. She has continued her practice as a freelance designer and maker.
For the art works featured in the April, 2017 show, Lighting Up Spring, KT has teamed with fellow artist Sean Carleton to produce fascinating illuminated sculptures created from glass and steel.
