Mieke Groot was trained first as a
jeweller and then in the glass department of the
Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, graduating in 1976.Together with
Richard Meitner she later founded General Glass
Studio in Amsterdam. Here, since 1976 she has worked primarily with
the techniques of glassblowing and enamelling, creating objects which have
evolved in significant and clear ways. Her work has become internationally
known, highly respected, and is included in many public collections in many
countries of Europe, the United States and Japan.
Mieke's work, throughout her career has been informed and inspired by her
frequent travels. This is particularly clear from 1994, after the first of
her many travels in Africa. Form, color, and 'skin' of these works can
easily be traced back to the sources of their inspiration. The dryness of
the earth in some places, parched, cracking, the brilliance of color under
the relentless strong sunlight and heat of Africa, the closed container
form, with only a small access hole, to guard what is held, keeping it safe
from heat, insects and other assailants of its content. The African penchant
for ornamentation is another influence on her very recent work, hers a
reproduction of its richness through a translation in form, subject and
material.
