I graduated with a First in Applied Arts in 2010. I have built my practise in the UK using illustrative fusing techniques to create flat panels inspired by the everyday. More recently I’ve been exploring casting and my work has become more 3-Dimensional. My most recent collection, Good Enough to Eat, has been a pivotal milestone in my artistic journey. This collection has enabled me to experiment with installation concepts and further delve into the storytelling potential of glass. This body of work was prominently featured at Collect Open at the Collect Art Fair in London in 2023. It also earned me the Young Collectors Award at the British Glass Biennale and I exhibited with Homo Faber in Venice in 2024. These achievements have been real career highlights for me, transforming a traditionally brittle and rigid material and, totally inedible into a form that appeared to take on a soft, sweet and incredibly edible appearance.

I am currently working on a series called Good Enough to Eat. I create lifelike cakes from glass using a wide range of techniques, casting, fusing, pate de verre, and cold working processes. I have also worked on public art projects, at the end of 2024 I worked on a project called Lood Woodrow, and created a 12m illustrative mural, a community created mosaic and worked with 600 school pupils to create glass art for display in their local community.
I am also the chair of CGS. I want to help others to develop their career in glass and find opportunities and support for new makers through CGS.
