IMPORTANT POSTAL UPDATE! Please note that postal services are still extremely disrupted but I am still posting orders
I am based in the UK, most items sent international post should arrive within 14-28 working days (so not including weekends), but sometimes can take a little longer due to delays in the postal systems as well as security and customs checks. Parcels to Europe are NOT tracked unless you choose the slightly more expensive and secure tracked and signed option when purchasing. If you wish to upgrade to this before despatch please email me.
All the glass here has been hand sculptured by me in my studio in the heart of the English countryside. I take top quality raw glass and handshape over a fierce flame of super-hot gas & oxygen. You can also find out more at my website at; www.SteamPunkGlass.com
I can also be found some weekends at London's famous Covent Garden Apple Craft Market with a range of pendants on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, Fridays and some Saturdays

Thanks for looking! Glenn

5 out of 5 starsI am absolutely in love with this. It is unique, an absolute marvel, and a joy to write and illustrate with. Never again will I write with a pen that doesn't set off a Geiger counter!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely beautiful piece of work, just what we were looking for to go on our kitty’s collar! Prompt service, very attentive seller who answered many questions quickly and thoroughly. Seeing as the item shipped from the U.K. to the states, shipping was quick. Will buy from this seller again.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a nice dip pen holder! Recently having discovered the joys of dip pens and ink, I wanted to give myself a nice pen as a gift. Feels great when drawing and has a unique look and vibe. Glad I purchased it. The red carrying box is a cool touch.

Looney with a Flame-Thrower
My most interesting glass work comes from my subconscious trying to reconcile my contrasting interests and experiences. I love the Victorian and Edwardian ethos of design, which layers patterns on functional objects, making them beautiful as well as useful however mundane they might be. I am also drawn to 1950's sci-fi imagery, with its sleek, solid lines and geometric designs. To my mind both eras are very similar - they were optimistic times. New discoveries were being made, new horizons being explored, all driven by mammoth machines that were launching mankind into a new age.
Although I trained in electronic engineering, I also spent many years working with plants, tropical plants in particular, and I am fascinated by the incredible organic shapes that plants produce.
Somewhere out of this mix the inspiration for my glasswork appears.
I remember as a child seeing the creations of the local 'Glass Animal Man' and wondering, 'how do you get to learn how to do something like that?' That question remained in the back of my mind for years waiting for an answer. I went on to work with many different materials, even selling artists and restoration materials at one point. I have made everything from wooden jewellery boxes to top hats! But whatever I tried didn't feel quite right for me. However, when I finally tried glass work everything 'clicked' and I haven't looked back since.
I am a great believer in getting 'stuck in' and having a go. I've made plenty of mistakes, but I take a 'Zen' view of glass. Each piece has the opportunity to teach me something that will make the next piece following it better, and that next piece will also then have a lesson for the piece that will follow that. Also, you have to work at the speed of the glass - you can't force a river to flow faster or slower - it's the same with glass. Matching it's 'speed' and flow produces better work.
