Marianne Ibrahim
Marianne Ibrahim is a multidisciplinary artist working across several mediums, with a focus on pattern, color, and the interplay of materials. She graduated from OCAD University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Design, majoring in Jewellery & Metalsmithing, while also exploring ceramics and stained glass.
In 2025, she completed a four-month glassblowing intensive at the Haliburton School of Art + Design, where she began experimenting with fused pattern bars and murrini in the hot shop. She further developed her skills in cane, filigrana, and complex murrini techniques at Salem Community College and at the Corning Museum of Glass Studio.
Ibrahim’s work is driven by curiosity, experimentation, and a love of pattern and color. She actively seeks opportunities to deepen her technical skill while expanding her creative vision. Her practice bridges traditional craft, experimental glass, and interdisciplinary design, producing objects that are both visually striking and technically accomplished.
