New, exquisite glass casting by Jeannette. Unique glass sculpture that develops its own landscape of form and vibrant of colour, giving it a life of its own. Every piece has an extraordinary ability to draw you in.

Jeannette is inspired by the local countryside and interprets it through the wonderful use of coloured glass.

Jenia designs and makes a range of unique items for the home – both functional and purely decorative – using fused glass. She also makes silver and glass jewellery. Additionally, Jenia takes on commission work developed individually to customers’ requirements.

Usually a single coloured, thick (12-25mm) cast stained glass slab, which is then carved into using grinders. They can be large installed windows, or smaller hanging panels,
As the engraved coloured glass becomes thinner the colour lightens, and the sculptural relief of the surface brings a subtle changes to the motif depending on the viewers direction. My designs are sometimes figurative, sometimes more abstract, but I am happy to work with designs by other people.

I have been fascinated by space, stars and planets from childhood, and this interest is reflected in my ‘Planets Series’. I am liberal and unashamed in my use of artisitc licence – but nonetheless I do try to model my work on what is really out there.

“I’m currently experimenting with 3-dimensional fusing and hand manipulation of fused glass. The resulting shapes are by nature of the process, bold & organic, and I’m excited to add this hands-on ‘twist’ to my work.”
Jill has been running workshops for 10years in Shropshire and beyond.
And, as a member of the Shropshire Guild of Contemporary Craft, she regularly exhibits with them in Much Wenlock and Coalbrookdale (Ironbridge) as well as at Art & Craft Fairs in and around the West Midlands.

Encouraged by courses with Sue Woolhouse and Effie Burns at the 36 Lime Street Studios I now enjoy fusing, slumping, sand blasting and lost wax casting. I produce decorative pictures, jewellery and functional items
