I like to experiment mixing techniques especially fused glass, painting and stained glass

The process of making is intrinsic to my practice and I am fascinated by the interface created when glass is used in conjunction with other processes and techniques, for example photography, printmaking and textiles. The endless sculptural possibilities that glass offers, and the diverse range of contradictions inherent within the material fascinate me.

In 2018-19 Lisa was artist in residence at Mullard Space Science Laboratory in Surrey where she followed ESA’s Euclid Mission and developed work responding to theories related to dark matter in the universe. In February 2022 her glass and thread microgravity sculpture Verdant was sent to the International Space Station as part of the Moon Gallery ISS test Mission. She participated in the Crafts Council’s Collect Open in 2022 and teaches Sculptural Slumping Masterclasses from her studio in Surrey.

My current fused glass work references Birling Gap and The Seven Sisters Country Park near Eastbourne. The coastline is constantly eroding and several of the cliff top cottages have over many years fallen onto the beach below. Evidence of this habitation can be found in fragments of these structures to be found above and below the timeline. The powerful currents, sandbanks and rocks have resulted in several shipwrecks and interesting artefacts can sometimes be found on the shore in addition to fossils from the cliff erosion. My current fused glass work reflects the sea and land around the Seven Sisters and that associated fragmentation.

I am currently working on a collection. I use the full spectrum of colour in my work. My recent experiments focus on use of enamels between layers of glass, fused in a kiln.
My work is currently paused whilst I prioritise caring for a loved one. I hope to be back later in the year.

My first projects were keepsakes, with one of the first designs being a rainbow. They are sold in a sleeve style box which can be personalised with a message, and proved popular in lockdown. I still sell the keepsakes but more recently I have been making larger items.

Bespoke commissioned projects range from luxury art glass to integrated engraved glass for high-end residential interiors and super yachts.

Large scale architectural glass projects are undertaken with the support of a well established Architectural Glass Studio, allowing Lucy to offer her customers the combination of the attentive design services of a professional glass artist and the technical support of a large production studio.
