Glass

Glass is a magical material. It comes in a wealth of rich colours, can be cut with precision, and blends together in intense heat into a new form of even greater strength and light refracting properties.
 

Incorporating both contemporary glass fusing and forming methods and traditional stained glass techniques, I aim to bring out the intrinsic beauty of glass in each piece, however simple or complex the design.

Medieval Collection

The medieval period was a time of great invention and creativity in stained glass, evident in the beautiful stained glass windows in local churches from where I draw much of my inspiration.  I combine both the traditional leaded and 19th century Tiffany glass methods as well as traditional glass painting to get the most from this enduring art form.

Silhouette Collection

Silhouettes are painted using traditional glass paints and fired in the kiln for permanence.

Silhouette frames comprise two pieces of glass as a foreground and background.  The frames are approximately 10 cm square. I also make silhouettes as hanging designs and magnets.
