Josh Atkinson is a fused and stained-glass artist operating Harbour Art Glass, a glass studio based in Cowling, North Yorkshire. Beginning with leaded and Tiffany-style stained glass in 2018, his practice evolved after traveling through Europe, where time spent in Italy led to a deep interest in murrine—a centuries-old Italian method of glasswork. Josh now creates his own glass murrine, which he uses to create glass vessels, wall pieces, and dishes. Josh is a member of the Contemporary Glass Society, and examples of his work can be found at https://www.instagram.com/harbour_artglass/
