Geoff Thwaites
I am an experimental engraver. My exhibition pieces often combine kiln forming and sculptural engraving, the glass being carved with diamond and stone tools, often pierced right through. Recently I have been experimenting with more spontaneous engraving, more akin to drawing or painting.
I take commissions on a scale from goblets and tankards to doors and windows. Commissions often include lettering but can also include illustrative elements. Colour can be included by fusing or using a collage technique.
