Earlier, large studios and glass manufacturers would have artists design the glass pieces, but other artists would actually blow it into the design. In 1969, she co-founded The Glasshouse, Covent Garden with Sam Herman, one of the founding fathers of the British studio glass movement.  A few years later, she established her own studio Ravenshill.  Her pieces are found in Corningware Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum.  For more info see .uk/exhibitions/archive/2010/drawing-with-objects/pauline solven.
