Surprising Milk Bottle Art

Today I am looking at glass artist, Charlotte Hughes-Martin.  I just found out about Charlotte’s engraved milk bottles.  Charlotte takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary.  The story behind the engraved milk bottles makes them even more special.

I have been engraving milk bottles with various different images and leaving them on random doorsteps.

I like the idea of finding Art in unusual places. It’s happened to me a few times, and when I get to see these special sights it makes me feel privileged, like I’ve been trusted with a really excellent secret, or I’ve been chosen for something exciting that most people don’t grasp. I wanted to make others feel the same way. Be it the person who notices this bottle on their doorstep, or the milkman, or the dairy worker who wonders what’s going on, or the “chav” walking past and seeing an empty milk bottle that they want to steal! I like the idea of making people do a double take when they notice something new.
