I’ve been working with glass for over 20 years. Ever since I first picked up my chosen glass and glass cutter, I’ve been hooked. I am fascinated by the properties of glass, the array or colours and the processes that that can be used to create different effects. There is always something new to learn and new tools and materials to invest in. It really is addictive!

What I especially love about working with glass are the colours. From crystal clear to shimmery dichroic to opaque pure blocks of colour that will never fade or dull.

I hope I’ve made you curious about the wonderful world of glass too!

Full description

Fused glass freestanding piece on a solid oak base, inspired by my love of the retro design found on the ceramics, fabrics and wallpaper of the 1960s and 1970s. This would made a groovy gift for lovers of all things retro and looks lovely either on a mantelpiece or shelf, or on a window sill.

To make this piece I hand cut transparent art glass and then slowly fuse it in my kiln overnight to form a solid clear base. I then hand cut and shape art glass in tones of opaque turquoise, orange, red and green and arrange onto the pre-fired background. This all goes back into the kiln for a second slow overnight firing at a lower temperature to tack fuse the flowers onto the transparent background, this lower temperature means the flowers, stem and petals stand slightly proud of the glass, to give it a slightly 3D effect. I then mount the piece on a chunky solid oak block.

21cm by 15cm by 4.5cm.

Item comes securely packaged and wrapped in my signature turquoise tissue paper, sticker and string. A gift message can be included, just contact me to let me know.

Glass is very hard to photograph, so your item may look slightly different to how it does on screen. I try my best to capture the colours correctly.
