Christmas Orders & Black Friday

A little note for Christmas shoppers and to let my lovely customers know that I won't be participating in Black Friday this year, or offering a Black Friday discount.

I'm a small, independent maker. Every piece of glass is made to order, so I don't have huge quantities sitting here ready to ship in a sale just before Christmas, and handmade takes a little longer.

Rather than waiting until the end of November to see if prices are reduced, ordering early is the safest way to make sure I have time to make it for you and to get your order on its way before the Christmas post deadlines.

Thank you so much for choosing handmade and supporting my small business this Christmas. Every order really does mean a lot.

I like to melt things! I work from my home studio in Brighton, making items from fused glass in a kiln.

I worked for a jewellery company for 18 years but it closed down & I was made redundant when I was 8 months pregnant. After a few months trying to think of a way I could work from home I had a dream that I was growing flowers in the garden & encasing them in glass coasters. Which obviously wouldn't work as the flowers would burn up in the heat of the kiln, but I woke up thinking, 'I've always liked things made from glass, why not give it a try'. So I ordered a kiln and a couple of books on the basics of fusing glass, and here I am today. Several years later and completely self taught.
