These experiences enriched her understanding of the art form and allowed her to learn from established professionals.

Drawing from her background in ceramics, Nur Özel's artistic glass creations often involve blown forms connected with hot sculpting techniques. She also explores the realm of sound sculptures, showcasing her versatility and passion for music. Her works in both materials search for the duality of life and two sides of the mind.

Following her graduation, Nur embarked on a freelance career as a glassblowing production assistant, collaborating with various brands and artists.
