My work explores the colour and texture of glass fusing materials and techniques in a painterly way, an intuitive response to an image or drawing, further enhanced by the surprises created during the glass firing process. Favourite inspirational locations include South Devon, West Cornwall, Dorset and the South Downs.

After working with a kiln that is 6in by 6in is hard to do everything I want, but I’m ready to try whatever I can fit in it. Lots of failures but pleased with what comes out ok. I am now a student at the University of Sunderland based at the National Glass Centre in my second year of BA (Hons) Artist Designer Maker – Glass and Ceramics. And have purchased a bigger kiln to do my work due to lockdown. So I am now able to experiment more with kiln glass.

My current work explores the idea of combining sculptural pieces that could also have a practical use in the garden or outdoor spaces and how nature and we respond together.

I use traditional techniques when making Stained Glass. My work is often based on natural themes with a mix of metals and objects. I love seeing the
juxtaposition between these two. Painting usually takes central stage on my work.

My work has recently been shown at the Degree Show and Open Studies Show at Hertfordshire University. It will be included in New Designers in July 2009.

I work in fused glass to make jewellery and small items generally of a quirky nature. I repurpose bottles drunk on Coll by cutting and sandblasting my designs into them to transform them into something new. I’m experimenting with enamels and different ways of drawing and printing onto glass. The photos don’t show my full range of work as I’ve just grasped photgraphing and editing glass pictures.
