Each piece of her work carries a unique artisan signature.
Baiba’s work is an ode to the craftsmanship of glass blowers’ expertise that is becoming rare and fragile. Each piece of work encapsulates this extraordinary craft.
"I remember observing and admiring wonders of Nature since the time of my childhood.
The dew is reminiscent of water pearls to me, which allows me to adore them without touching otherwise they will disappear. The phenomenon of fog seemed especially mysterious – realising yourself as part of the moment when the breath of Earth surrounds you...
I guess these and other phenomena teach us respectfulness towards Nature and Universe."

Collection Celestial presents a range of ascetic vases, incense & candle holders made from hot poured glass.
Every candle holder has a unique air bubble imprint encapsulated inside the glass. They are available in various dimensions – a single mould is used in the preparation of the glass cubes, after which they are cut, ground and polished to attain the sophisticated crystal clear brilliance of this versatile material.
Each metal cylinder is cut, ground and later embedded in glass cubes.
This collection is intended for use with tea candles as well as long candles and makes every candle, incense stick or flower sit on its throne to create a majestic and meditative atmosphere with light play.
Each piece is on of a kind and carries a unique artisian signature.

COLLECTION CALM, 2017
Inspired by two phenomena that happens in nature fog & dew, this
signature collection offers a set of three uniquely formed vases and a sophisticated bowl & tray. Each object is made from free formed mouth–blown glass that reveals the plasticity and brilliant shine of the glass through special imprints, where the glass once touched metal.
An Antique Latvian linen-craft tool was used to achieve this imprint and it has become a distinctive feature of Collection Calm.
The employment of this archaic artefact signifies the timeless relationship between Nature’s phenomena and ancient Latvian craft tradition which is expressed in Contemporary Glass Art through symbolic 'imprint of time’.
