Values

Samantha Yates is a glass artist based at South Square, Thornton in West Yorkshire. She uses the pseudonym Lil' Rabbitfoot for her artwork.

She believes acts of kindness, love and care are of great value in our lives and creates beautiful glass flowers and foliage to share the emotions of love & joy and show appreciation.

Her flowers are rich in individual character, both naive and fun, revealing her appreciation of the natural environment, the simple beauty of nature and the happiness it can bring.

She playfully explores the limitations of her materials and techniques, presenting glass to the light through exploration of different botanical forms, patterns and structures.

Samantha has a unique background in Environmental Science, the Waste Management Industry and 15 years teaching Horticulture.
