In my recent work I concentrate on 3D forms, often using reclaimed oak to mount my pieces. After a period of dry spell, I found fresh inspiration in landscapes of Iceland and I currently work on developing series of stained glass panels and 3D ornaments inspired by it’s colours and textures.
Tamsin’s recent work explores the expressive possibilities of glass through a mix of traditional and experimental techniques. Combining enamels, glass paints, printing powders, and reclaimed fragments, she creates layered surfaces rich in colour, texture, and light. Drawing inspiration from the shifting depths and hues of the sea, her pieces capture moments of movement and stillness — echoing the ebb and flow of coastal landscapes. Each artwork is an exploration of how transparency, reflection, and shadow can evoke emotion and atmosphere. By incorporating scrap and sheet glass, Tamsin brings sustainability and spontaneity into her process, transforming overlooked materials into something luminous and new. The results are contemporary, tactile works that invite viewers to look closer and discover the intricate interplay of colour and depth within each piece.
My work is rooted in the dramatic and rugged landscapes of Western Ireland, specifically Connemara. I aim to capture the essence of coastlines, rolling green hills, and ever-changing skies.

Glass is a new exploration for me, an extension of my experience in clay. The language in glaze technology has given me an understanding of glass properties, other than that it has thrown me a complete curveball.
I’ve started using bottles. Cutting, breaking and melting. Wondering where this is leading.
Bit by bit I’m learning and now after 2 years of experimenting I’m almost up to the first rung.
