Member’s Spotlight

I am a glass artist based in the North East of England, currently in my third year of the Artist Designer Maker: Glass and Ceramics BA (Hons) at the University of Sunderland. My practice spans hot-blown and flameworked techniques, alongside ongoing experimentation with casting and screen printing. I am driven by a fascination with how glass captures and manipulates light, exploring its potential to shift perception and transform space. As an artist, I am deeply interested in the connections we experience—whether through the natural world, sensory elements, or personal memory. My work investigates these links, often drawing inspiration from organic forms such as fungi, mycelium, and tree bark, as well as the objects and sensations tied to past experiences. I’m particularly drawn to how memories are held, altered, and reawakened, especially through touch, scent, and light—and how glass can reflect the fragility and persistence of those moments. Through my practice, I aim to evoke connections that are both intimate and universal, encouraging reflection on how we engage with the world around us and the memories we carry.
