Details about work or recent projects
'Human Hands' is the most recent example of her traditional work which won third prize for the ‘Games’ exhibition currently showing at the National Waterfront Museum until the 23rd of September. A personal response to the craft and traditions of stained glass, and specifically designed for this significant exhibition in association with the Swansea School of Glass and the British Society, Deirdre’s panel is exhibited alongside nationally recognised professionals in the medium of glass. This panel was designed in an honest, passionate and meaningful way, perhaps influenced by her recent study trip to Cologne and the German use of semi-opaque antique glass.
