COUTURE GLASS COLLECTION
I have long though about wanting to create wearable glass clothes.
Recently I have been making glass items to be worn using various techniques including painting and casting techniques. At present these items I have been able to wear and will be working on mounting and selling as Objet d’art.
I view these glass clothing items as ‘Cinderella’s Wardrobe’, she had the shoes so why not the clothes?
I love that glass relays a sense of vulnerability and yet strength at the same time. By wearing glass I can create a vision of wearing my fragility on the outside.
In this current collection of items I hope to relay the beauty of the feminine form with the attributes of glass to create striking, elegant silhouettes that hark back to a bygone era and yet retain a modern forward progressive use of glass.
I have been creating mini images via fused glass jewellery which has now been accepted by the local Contemporary Art Gallery Shop (Hastings). Very excited and encouraged by this and I am looking forward to developing my work further, examples of which can be viewed via my profile page, also my general artwork can be viewed by my Instagram page below, shop is still under construction.
I am very involved with the Decorative Arts Society 1850 to the Present
My studio now includes a glass furnace for teaching beginners glassblowing sessions in North London, please get in touch for more information
Pj has studied with masters of fused glass, learning from them how to manipulate glass to achieve startling effects, including the use of powdered glass as well as silver foil and copper oxides.
