Hilary Hayes

My starting point was attending fused glass and stained glass day classes. I think I can now call myself an experienced beginner glass artist. During this Covid 19 outbreak I have lost my way! I miss having people see my work!

I tend to go through various themes! Once my head is full of that theme it’s full steam ahead until I have had enough! Two years ago I worked in fused glass to create my own tartan plates and wall pieces. Last year it was fused glass fields of poppies and wild flowers using murino glass accessories. I also love creating stained glass birds in their environment. I have produced fused glass ‘journey maps’ which show places visited on a touring holiday. The outline of the west coast of Scotland is very demanding!
