Often playing with light, colour, pattern and perspective, underpinning my work is a desire to make it beautiful, simple, accessible and fun.
My latest project ‘Fungi’ is a reflection of my wonder at this under-explored kingdom. Each mouth-blown glass sculpture is unique and can stand alone or work well as a collection.

Wolves and Little Red Riding Hood feature a lot in my work currently. I make small copper-foiled panels of hand-painted kiln-fired glass and coloured glass pieces.
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.
