New Artists and reviews
Colour has been the main feature of his glass, with added trails and shards; a fusion of blown glass inspired by nature, the built environment and abstract art. In 2015 he was selected for inclusion in the ‘Ripples’ exhibition at the Pyramid Gallery in York.
Currently a student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, I am enjoying exploring the unlimited possibilities of glass as an artistic medium. Much of my work in involves blown forms being altered or reworked through kiln casting and fusing processes. It is my hope that through this combination of techniques I can allow the glass to speak as a material.
My projects for 2023 include organising a sculpture trail at Sussex Prairie Garden in West Sussex and exhibition venues with Surrey Sculpture Society. In 2022 I curated a Glass Garden at The RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London to celebrate International Year of Glass #IYOG.
Ian and I have an amazing studio just out side Poole in Dorset and we regularly take part in Dorset Art weeks and Purbeck Art Weeks opening our Studio to the public. This year I will be demonstrating the art of making Lampwork beads at a variety of venues, which we often incorporate into our unique jewellery.
We have been lucky enough to have our Glass and metal Garden Sculptures displayed at Chelsea Flower Show in the Glass Garden which is curated by fellow CGS member Gabrielle Argent and also as part of the Sculpture exhibition at the Sussex Prairie Gardens. We have held our first ever Solo exhibitions in Upton Country Park in Upton, Poole, and at Walford Mill in Wimborne. Both very successful events.
We are working on new pieces at the moment getting ready for this Years events and Open Studio.
