Jill Bagnall

I create contemporary studio glass; unique, one-off pieces bursting with colour! Enjoying the challenge of this sometimes-unpredictable media, knowing that the result will always be enriched by the unique interaction between glass and light; light breathes life into glass! I’m entirely self-taught by reading, experimenting & practicing, as well as attending Masterclasses around the UK. I’m currently in the ‘experimental phase’ with 3D fusing and hand forming. My glass is informed by a geometrical, balanced aesthetic and, usually, boldness of colour and the 'tapestry' technique has underpinned my glass work for almost 10 years. I'm looking forward to adding a new twist to this technique.

Fusing Ideas Glass, est. 2012, is based in a small village on the edge of the Shropshire Hills and I now run my popular Glass Fusing workshops from the local village community hall, giving better visitor facilities and helping maximise use of local resources.
As a member of the Shropshire Guild of Contemporary Craft, I regularly exhibit with them in Much Wenlock and Coalbrookdale (Ironbridge) as well as at Art & Craft Fairs in and around the West Midlands.
