Glass delights me with its colours, textures and versatility. I try to explore and challenge my boundaries by creating intriguing, fascinating and perplexing objects to enchant and amuse; some of which may even have a purpose. I take pleasure in making larger bowls, dishes and panels. Each of these tells a story, either of the context that inspired, or the next stage of my journey through glass.

My work is kiln formed, slumped and coldworked. I am inspired by the natural landscape and seek to capture the colours and fluidity of nature in glass.

I started working with glass in 2009. Two years later I bought my own kiln and was then able to experiment freely – at times to the point of obsession!
I show work in The Cuppola Gallery, Sheffield and in Junction Art Gallery in Woodstock.
I have participated in several Open Art weekends.
In 2014 I had a piece, rock – sand – glass, shown (and sold) in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

Johannes von Stumm works in stone, glass and iron, fusing these materials together to create symbols of a finely balanced and fragile unity. Since seven years he develops figurative work using space and metal.

Strattman Design is a leading innovator in glass lighting technologies, creating kinetic plasma displays for museums, tradeshows, industry and arts for over 30 years. We supply the world’s largest plasma globes to science museums worldwide, and produce unique creative lighting displays with flameworked borosilicate glass, inert rare gases and electricity.

I produce smaller fused pieces, mostly inspired by the natural world, and do take bespoke orders for these.
I also design and make stained glass panels, by fusing powdered and painted pieces before leading them together, and enjoy working on commissions.

I make expressive glass pieces that have a painterly quality to them. Inclusions of metal leaf and wire enable me to ‘draw’ within the glass. Much of my work involves repeated images and pattern making drawn from observation of the world around me.
