New Artists and reviews
Recent projects include a collaborative exhibition of jewellery and glass sculpture inspired by the beauty of beetles and their interaction with humans.
Having originally trained as a painter, I started making ‘pictures in glass’, turning them into bowls, plates or free-standing pieces. Using fusing and slumping techniques I also create colourful sculptures which are set into stands
made of wood or wrought iron. I have also been exploring screen printing images onto the glass.
Gaynor’s latest work melds Gothic lifestyle imagery with contemporary glassware practicality. She likes to incorporate metal inclusions in to her kiln formed glass, and although the great majority of her work is with the kiln-forming of ‘flat’ glass she loves to dabble with kiln-casting, acid-etching, sand-blasting and stained glass.
