Beryl Langsworthy was born in Shropshire. She declined a place at Manchester School of Art in favour of remaining self-taught. Her affinity with animals led to commissions to paint many breeds of dogs, cats and horses. In 1988 Beryl Langsworthy moved to the Isles of Scilly where she developed the skill of creating free blown studio glass.

Her work has been exhibited widely in Cornwall and London.
