Raspberry Rings
One of the reasons glass is my medium of choice is its ability to allow a depth of design which is not achievable in most other arts. It is this that keeps me fascinated and absorbed with melting glass. I had my first class in 2009 and have not looked back since and I now work with glass full time. I live on the coast in North Devon, UK on a tidal river estuary and close to the sea and, like a lot of artists, my work is heavily influenced by the ever changing landscapes and tides, the colours and foliage that the seasons bring. It is the three dimensional quality of glass that really fascinates me.
My Beads are award winning, one of a kind pieces. Each one is made with love and most influenced by the coastal area I live and walk in.
I am a Professional Member of the International Society of Glass Bead makers and Co Regional Director for the International region. I regularly teach in my own studio workshop as well as visiting other studios to teach. My work has recently been chosen to feature in a permanent exhibition at the Corning Museum of Glass as part of the ISGB Presidents Collection 2015.
My shop was opened to share my love of this very special medium - glass
