Keith Dymond

Born in the then brand new new town of Hemel Hempstead, Keith was a product of the Concorde era and comprehensive school system at its best. A proactive and very capable ‘modern technologies' department inspired a creative but industrial/engineering-based love for design, form, functionality and materials. • Awarded 'Apprentice of the Year' for the then mighty Hawker Sidley Engineering Group, his career as a satellite navigation engineer flourished until a career change was called for. • Keith has exploited his creative vision and engineering knowledge and commercial skills and was responsible for managing numerous technology transfer projects from university to industry, leading a team of academics and engineers for over ten years. • A career highlight was being the only designer to have two industrial products simultaneously on display at the prestigious British Design Council Design Centre in London.

A major stroke in 2019 left Keith with a paralysed left arm and leg, however turning
to his passion through bleak times and pandemic isolation Keith learnt to re-use his
arm and hand to regain his capability. After three years of hard work, Keith was able to return to glass with a renewed focus and direction.
Keith continues to explore the limits of glass and is evolving forms and texture to his work with an interest in naturally induced regularity.
Keith also offers workshops and courses exploring the history of glass with entertaining interactive and animated audio-visual presentations often accompanied by a practical demonstration to art societies around the country.
