A couple of years ago I accidently discovered that you could cast into moulds made with only fine casting plaster – I was tired and forgot to add the quartz and glass strands! Since then I have been experimenting at university with various forms. I am beginning to become very interested in lighting projects.

Established over 30 years ago, Daedalian has grown from a small decorative glass business to a multi-discipline glass and design studio. Similarly, project sizes have expanded from modest local commissions to installations within national and international 5-star hotels, mansions and superyachts.

I am a glass artist, living and working in Ayr, Scotland. I work in the traditional medium of stained glass and make lamps, mirrors, window panels and carry out repair work. Having recently been on two courses at Northlands Glass, I also now work with fused glass, painted glass and gravity drop vessels which I also transform into light shades. I also run classes in my workshop in Ayr for adults and children and have worked with local authorities on various project in glass and mosaic and run CPD sessions for teachers.
My final project was called ‘Catharsis’. I focused on the battling emotions many have had to cope with over lockdown. A Youngminds survey taken in summer 2020 recorded that 80% of respondents said the coronavirus pandemic made their mental health worse. I hope my work creates those negative emotions in a physical form to bring a cathartic feeling to the audience as they can relate my work to their own battle.
