New Artists and reviews
My areas of interest include the historical development of the industry in the Stourbridge district, how the geology and geography impacted on the wealth and sociology of the area, driven by the rivalry of our Glass Dynasties. I research, write, and present talks on all aspects of our Glass Heritage
Debra has recently completed a second community art project for a Manchester charity, MSV Housing. Having delivered poetry workshops at St
Columba RC School in Bolton, Debra immortalised the children’s poetry on fused glass using traditional Stained Glass paints, and completed the designs (with the children) with glass mosaic to be installed at sheltered housing.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the IOM Creative Network, Debra was one of 10 artists chosen to have her work represented on a special collection of stamps.
Debra continues to create characterful glass that sells though Manx National Heritage and online.
Debra’s specialist glass bowls and splash backs are available by commission.

My sculpture Society is a 3 years project, consist of 6 parts all together approx. 120KG (250LBS). Together the 6 parts form a circle of 18 figures reflected from the glass, standing held tight but not supported. these figures are of different colors to represent the variety of groups which the modern society is comprised of. What makes us a one bonded society?
Another projects WIP, includes 6 face expressions: Happy, Sad, Surprised, Angry, Disappointed, and Content. Each expression in a separate glass block. Standing together it represents the way we interact directly in the modern life. In each discussion we can have all spectrum of emotions. There is no consensus anymore.
