Carol Milne

Carol Milne was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, but was raised in many locations throughout the US, Germany and Canada.  

She graduated with a degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Guelph in 1985. Her exploration of “Landscape as Art” led to graduate studies in sculpture at the University of Iowa before moving to Seattle with her husband. There they raised two daughters while Carol spearheaded a community playground/art project at Licton Springs park. She continued her personal art education independently and at Pratt Fine Arts Center exploring many materials and processes. In 2000 she took her first glass class – and the dye was cast. Glass became the material that would define her artistic career.  

Since developing her knitted glass process in 2006, Milne has exhibited widely throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. She has had solo exhibitions in Seattle, New York City, Asheville, and Belgium, and her work can be found in museum collections in the US, Japan, Turkey, Belgium, France and Germany. This year her work will be in the Glass Art Society’s 2026 Member exhibition in the United Kingdom.  

Milne’s artwork occupies a rare intersection between craft and fine art. Her sculptures challenge assumptions about material, permanence, and process, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationship between delicacy and strength.
