Running mindful glass fusing sessions and makers shop

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.

I now confine my work to making for Fairs and a few galleries, also selling through my website. I am experimenting with enamels, combined with recycled glass, and teach to small groups on request.

My main area is architectural glass.
