Stained glass is a truly underrated art form, but one talented artist from the UK came up with a creative way to bring it to the masses. Lottie is creating the most show-stopping stained-glass art you’ll ever see, and she’s using it to pay homage to her favorite animated movies.
Lottie is the mastermind behind the Instagram and TikTok page Created by Lottie, and stained glass art came into her life during her darkest days. She fell into a deep depression after her brother’s sudden passing and struggled to find her creative spark.
She found comfort and escape from the harsh reality once she discovered the world of stained glass artists on TikTok, and decided she wanted to become one of them.
“Probably not the best decision for an unemployed 20-something living off savings, but I spent every last penny I had on the equipment. What began as a therapeutic hobby during my darkest days soon blossomed into something extraordinary,” she writes on her official website.
Before discovering stained glass art, Lottie studied animation, and she came up with a creative way to mix two of her biggest passions into one. Most of her creations are inspired by animated classics she grew up with, including Studio Ghibli movies and Pokémon.
