Contemporary Glass SocietyNew Artists and reviews
You can find examples of my latest work on my website listed below. Recently I’ve been working on a large painted panel of a hare and a badger but I’ve also recently made a “deep fuse” piece featuring a fox.
The Great East Mersea Art Show, August 4th – 5th, 2018
After years of learning different techniques with some real masters in glass, I have been developing some of techniques to find my own style. I am building a collection of insect inspired pieces. My pieces do not aim at representing insects in detail, but they capture what for me is the essence of a particular species. Therefore, the pieces are abstract, but an entomologist should be able to guess the name of the species or group of insects that is represented.
Liz work often focuses on the theme of beauty, aiming to lift the spirits by using fluid forms to capture the light and create vibrant colours and textures.
Liz is completing practice-based doctoral research at the University of Sunderland, Towards an Internet of glass things, exploring traditional glass techniques and the use of microcontrollers to create interactive objects which allude to narratives (global issues, biographical experience, microhistories, traditional tales).
At the moment I’m gathering myself after finishing my course. Thinking about how to proceed. My plan is to gather/ make items that I can sell, build up a stock, and get a place on Etsy.
Lisa’s design research is structured around multi-media testing, the creative process itself, and how innovation occurs. She leads an international, interdisciplinary team of artists, designers, and engineers who comprise the Makers Marks Collaborative and recently co-authored the journal article “Makers Marks: Capturing, Preserving, and Sharing the Sounds of Glassmaking” in the Special Issue of “Contemporary Glass Art: Materiality and Digital Technologies” published by MDPI’s Arts and found here: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0752/8/1/19.

Current work includes exploring processes for interpreting landscape in glass.
Recently collaborated on a series of sculptures in collaboration with Joy Parker, using found metal and mosaic and kiln formed glass.
