Glass has been special to me over many years. Over time I have developed a particular interest and passion for kiln formed glass. I predominantly make vessels and small decorative objects as well as small items of jewellery.I also do some glass casting. I love the pleasure, calm, and opportunities for exploration that working with glass brings me. Unfortunately this year has been very challenging. following an accident I sustained a fractured wrist that has mended but I have been left with very limited use of my right arm, which is a problem as I am right handed. Happily I have used this as a reason to find ways of working with glass that have not involved needing to cut sheet glass. I am now working regularly with powder and frit glass, as well as pre cut glass shapes, to create delicate vessels and objects. It's been fun to learn about doing things differently and discovering new methods of working.
My studio is small! Yet, tucked away at the end of the garden (approached through the vegetable patch) I have 2 kilns, a sandblaster 2 workbenches and all my glass stock. I find have to be quite neat and keep my space tidy. When the weather is nice I am able to work outside where it’s always a pleasure to hear the many birds in our woodland singing.
