I am an Otley based fused glass artist. I have worked for 30
plus years with glass, mastering different techniques including Tiffany copper foil
and traditional leading.
Recently I’ve been exploring the process of kilned formed
fused glass with a special interest in the chemical reactions that take place
at high temperatures.
In my work I use a variety of glass in different forms:
sheet, frit, stringers and powders to produce a range of glass designs. I
particularly like to include the rolled edges created in the glass making
process to give pieces an organic quality.
I take my inspiration from the natural environment including
seascapes, landscapes and geological structures to create freestanding glass
forms together with decorative pieces including jewellery.
