L O C A L L Y H A N D C R A F T E D UNIQUE GLASS ART
The Art Of Kiln Formed Glass
Kiln Formed GlassAs the name suggests, fused glass is created by layering sheet glass, coloured glass, granules, powders and enamels together in a kiln to make bold, striking and contemporary glass art.

Just Add HeatDepending on the complexity of the piece, several firings may be required at varying temperatures to achieve the desired shape, detail and texture.
|
Patience Is EverythingA single firing can take more than 24 hours to complete, as firing temperatures can be as high as 800 degrees centigrade.
A lot of time is spent waiting for the kiln to cool sufficiently and safely before opening. |
Designing & Making
I plan each piece to some degree beforehand, although inevitably colours and textures can morph into something quite unexpected!
I enjoy creating small to medium unique home wares and gifts. The natural elements of both coast and countryside play a huge role in my work.
My tireless passion keeps me motivated, allowing me to explore new imaginative possibilities.
I am influenced not only by the stunning coastal environment, but by family and close friends, materials or even a new tool!
