I specialise in vector illustrations, recreating original work and artefacts by vector tracing, and watercolour painting, Contemporary Glass Society and The Institute of Conservation (ICON). Since 2023, I began studying the craft of stained glass and joined the British Society of Master Glass Painters. Since then, I have taken any opportunity to study and work with the medium, visit museums with stained glass exhibitions, read books recommended to me, such as by Patrick Reyntiens, and learn from masters of the craft. I attended Jonathan Cooke’s masterclasses at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, got tutored by Flora Jamieson in her Dorset studio, was taught by Ellen van Dijk in the Glasatelier Ellen studio, and attended a two-day glass painting workshop that was held at the Stained Glass Museum in Ely Cathedral and taught by Derek Hunt.
My passion lies in the stained glass craft, where I continue to collect knowledge and advance my skills to become a conservator and stained glass master in my own style. For now, my goal is to learn the traditional style of stained glass, grow my skills, thus in the future I could help to save the heritage of stained glass. Hopefully, piecing together enough of this knowledge that needs to be preserved and passed on to others will keep this tradition alive.

At present I work with fused, painted and cast glass. My limited resources mean a concentration on glass that is fused then painted and cast forms. I enjoy modelling in clay then casting from these sculptures.
I hope to reintroduce sand blasting into my range of techniques in the near future.
This series of works” Rank” invites you to have a view in a world where square is an ideal lifestyle. Each object is pursuing a dream, to be the squarest in the room. Showcasing perspectives on intense chaotic of competitive for an objective. Two different approaches: aiming to be the best or to be the first.
I have been working with glass for over forty years now, experimenting with many different techniques. For me it is the most fascinating material. Glass inspires me again and again to explore its wonderful qualities. I am moved by the change glass undergoes in my work: the transformation of clear sheets to saturated coloured shapes, the translucent melting structures with linear textures or expressive patterns. It is exciting to catch the light and bind it up, to weave it into a cloth of colour, air and light.

I love working with light, colours, textures, volumes and image on glass. Myworks are the result of a constant exploration of techniques and materials.
Moods and nature are my topics. My favourite technique is Digital image transfer on glass, experimental method created by Andrea da Ponte. I made laminated castings on glass ofbioluminescent gellyfish and mushrooms, with the luminescent glaze wich contains fluorite stone, that turns luminous at night or under UV light.
‘The Alchemy of Fungi’ springs from my captivation with fungi, their diverse characteristics and their often-mysterious roles within the ecosystem. They not only have a wide range of colours and unique forms, but it’s their extraordinary abilities that inspire me. This piece aims to highlight and explore the complex and ecologic importance of the fungi kingdom within a scientific setting, delving into their ability to heal both humans and the planet, while also acknowledging their capacity to harm species.
A major stroke in 2019 left Keith with a paralysed left arm and leg, however turning
to his passion through bleak times and pandemic isolation Keith learnt to re-use his
arm and hand to regain his capability. After three years of hard work, Keith was able to return to glass with a renewed focus and direction.
Keith continues to explore the limits of glass and is evolving forms and texture to his work with an interest in naturally induced regularity.
Keith also offers workshops and courses exploring the history of glass with entertaining interactive and animated audio-visual presentations often accompanied by a practical demonstration to art societies around the country.
