Inspired by the colours and movement of crystal clear oceans.
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 wave, inspired by the colours of the sea and the beauty in different types of glass. This is a freestanding piece, fused glass mounted in a solid wood base which looks stunning on a window sill with the light coming through it. A perfect gift for someone who loves the ocean.
To make this piece I started with selecting which glass I wanted to use and then drawing my design on paper, carefully working out the patterns and shapes that are possible when you cut glass. I used a deep turquoise glass, a streaky turquoise and white glass and a clear glass. I then hand cut and shaped each piece of glass as it has to be cut so it carefully fits with the shape next to it, like a jigsaw. The pieces are placed onto another transparent piece of glass and I sprinkled on white glass to create a foam effect. I placed the piece in my kiln and slowly fused it overnight. When completely cooled and washed, I glued the glass into a wooden block.
Perfect on a window sill, or ion a shelf.
13.5cm by 14.5cm by 4cm.
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.
