Inspired by the many different flowers that I grow in my garden.

I’ve been working with glass for 18 years now. 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 wave sculpture. I've used tones of turquoise, blue and green in my fused glass panel inspired by spring flowers. This looks lovely either on a window sill with light flooding through, on a mantelpiece or in front of a candle. Each wave is completely unique.

To make it, I used art glass and cut 2 pieces of transparent glass the same shape and size. I then hand cut copper foil with a scalpel into the shapes of stems and flowers. Next I add specialist glass paint which turns into turquoise bubbles in the heat of the kiln. I fired it slowly overnight in my kiln. Once completely cooled, I then add petals, stems and circles that I've cut from art glass and coloured and dichroic dots which I have made previously to give some added interest to the design. A second firing is done overnight the next day to tack fuse the dots onto the design, so that they stand proud of the glass, giving it a 3D effect. Finally, the piece is fired a third time so it slowly slumps over a ceramic mould, giving it its wave shape.

Perfect on a window sill, or in front of a candle.

Size approx: 22cm x 10.5cm

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.
