New Artists and reviews
The work i have chosen to show uses bullesye glass. kiln work and drop outs . I have chosen these images due to colour , brightness and the reflection you see in the glass.
I make fused coloured wall panels often with a narrative theme. I also cast glass into large sculptural forms.I am a member Just Glass, the Buckinghamshire and Oxford Craft Guilds and regularly show with both these organisations and recently with CGS at Maidstone and Aylesbury.
I do figures and commissioned portraits in cast glass, bronze and ceramic.
In August 2019 I’ll be teaching a Masterclass in pâte de verre with Dr. Max Stewart at the International Festival of Glass, Stourbridge, UK.
In November 2019 I’ll be doing a residency at S12 in Bergen, Norway.

Before retiring I was working on large glass sculptures for a hospital water garden whilst developing new work incorporating text. Recent commissions have included large cast glass panels for corporate reception areas in the UK, Europe and Africa, laminated window works and light-catchers, vandal-proofed glass signage for a Liverpool park, and garden sculptures both standing and hanging for garden landscape architects. Post-retirement, I still run sand-casting workshops and accept commissions.
We are currently celebrating out 40th anniversary with a range of exhibitions and events.
