Since graduating from Stourbridge College of Art with a B.A. (Hons) in glass and ceramics, I have worked continuously with stained glass, now focusing predominantly on fused glass.
Using a small test kiln I experiment with many types of glasses and metals to establish their compatibility. Once the glass has been chosen it is cut and ground to size ready to fuse. This is done at a higher temperature than slumping so two separate firings are necessary for each piece.
My work varies dramatically from delicate jewellery to large chunky panels and bowls. Colour, light and texture are very important to my work. Inspirations have come from research into the Bauhaus movement, with particular interest in the works of Kandinsky and Klee.
Commissions are always welcomed and appreciated.
