Jewellery
I really enjoy the creative process of jewellery making. I carefully select colour combinations and tend to work with irid and dichroic glass, to give the pieces an extra shine. I fire the pieces using appropriate firing schedules for strength and durability and I take time to cut and polish them to a high standard. This means that most of my pieces have been fired in the kiln at least twice, some pieces (such as the pink pendant below) require four firings or more.
All my items are hand crafted and given the process involved in working with glass, no two items are the same. Therefore any piece you purchase will be unique. I can make pieces to match your favourite colour scheme or an item of clothing that you want a complement for. Just contact me for help and ideas.

I love creating wall art, my house is full of it! It allows me to represent scenes from nature. This process was specially important during the pandemic lock down months, when I created pieces that brought positive thoughts and calm.
All my pieces are made by me in my studio in Berkshire, UK. I mainly use Bullseye glass imported from the USA. I fuse it using carefully planned firing schedules for each type of piece for proper kiln forming and annealing to ensure strength and durability.
The prices vary depending on size, materials, numbers of firings and complexity.

Creating bowls and vessels involves fusing the glass first and on the final firing using clay bisque or stainless steel moulds of a given shape that the glass slumps onto. I also use my other materials for slumping, to obtain pieces with a more organic look.

Sculptured Glass
One of the challenges when working with glass fused in the kiln is to give the glass a three dimensional shape. This can be achieved using bisque moulds, but I prefer to use other methods to give my sculptured pieces a more unique and organic look. I also use casting techniques, building my sculptures in clay or with a 3-D printer, then making a plaster mould, fusing glass billets on to it. A long process, but a rewarding one.
