Akie Haga has over 25 years of experience working with glass, specialising in flameworking to create detailed and delicate forms. Her practice explores the interplay of line, pattern and structure, shaped through an intuitive, hands-on process. Guided by the movement of heat and flame she balances precision with the spontaneity in each piece.

Akie draws on her Japanese heritage and formal art education in the UK and Australia to inform her practice, developing a visual language that bridges tradition and experimentation. Since 2006, she has run an independent studio, creating wearable art - unique pieces that invite the audience to embrace their individuality and express their personal narratives - as well as sculptures inspired by organic forms and nature. Her work is held in galleries and private collections. She also teaches at Canberra Glassworks, offering flameworking instruction and technical support for artists working in other media.
