I create contemporary, abstract and stylised items in fused glass. I exhibit locally with North Somerset Arts, Made in North Somerset and in an online gallery called ART6Explore.
I run workshops for beginners.

I make stained glass hangings, panels and windows using traditional and modern techniques, including leading and copper foiling. My work is often based on natural themes, with strong use of sgraffito painting and coloured glass.
Although the recent Covid 19 situation has restricted my activities for the last year, I continue to exhibit at the Gallery at the Guild in the Cotswolds and sell my smaller pieces via my Folksy shop and Gloucestershire retailers.
In December 2020 I appeared on Channel 4’s ‘Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas’ demonstrating the use of stained glass techniques to make a Christmas Wreath.

I really enjoy making all sorts of things with glass from balanced sculptural pieces using my old machines to emphasise the light bending quality and feel of glass to decorations made from glass picked up from the street. It is all about celebrating the wonders of the material to me.

My flamework, especially my marbles, are strongly influenced by my interest in and love of mathematics, physics, symmetry, pattern and detail, both in nature, and in the abstract.
