His work expresses an attempt to research and expose certain aspects of philosophical and socio-political issues. He draws inspiration from current and past events that trigger his need to express his views or raise questions that may lead to creative conversations. He views his work as celebration of life, finding beauty in the world by revealing its inadequacies.
Hence, he chooses to use glass as a protagonist within large, often mixed media installations that create an emotional experience which aims to stimulate critical thinking.
Jenny was selected for the Crafts Council’s 2014 Hothouse 4 scheme, giving her lots of support setting up her practice. She has currently chosen to focus on her sandcast scenes, though she’s got some exciting ideas for kiln-cast projects which she hopes to start on one day soon!
Fairly new to fused glass, I am still in the early stages of discovering what wonderful creations and reactions are possible. Utilising these skills, I design and create a range of items from Jewellery to Decorative Art.

I have recently been exploring very fine forms that move or ripple in natural light. I am now looking to include more colour in my sculptures.
My latest work, the ‘Unhandy’ Collection combines cast and blown glass to create a limited collection of pieces inspired by arthritis and the affect it can have on being able to handle everyday objects.
Anyone who has ever tried to drink from the latte or espresso glasses favoured by most coffee shops will empathise with a person who suffers from arthritis or involuntary tremors in their hands.
What is fiddly for most of us becomes virtually impossible for them. I have heard of one lady who takes her own mug so she doesn’t have to suffer the embarrassment of spilling coffee everywhere.
The ‘Unhandy’ collection is a light-hearted comment on these annoying vessels.
