This is a selection of some of my work..............................
Arsenic & Old Lace 1 |
Arsenic & Old Lace 2 |
The Burning Fiery Furnace |
Winter Tree |
Hares with Ivy |
Rock Pools |
Red Kites above Mynydd Du |
This is the model for my degree show, the glass was formed in the kiln by slumping the sheets of glass over steel formers.
Welsh Weather! |
Mynydd Du |
Welsh Weather was painted in my studio on a particularly wet and miserable day (this inspired the title and the top third of the panel). Mynydd Du was a commision I secured from someone who admired the Welsh Weather panel - she wanted less rain and cloud than the original panel!
Glass is notoriously hard to photograph; I am annoyed every time I look at the photo of Mynydd Du as shadows can be seen through the glass and I can't take another photo as the panel has already been installed.
Tiger Tiger |
A painted, leaded roundel with silver stain.
Elephant
My friend Helen's birthday present - she likes elephants!
Crow 2
Crow 1
Black trace paint was stippled across the surface of float glass and the images revealed as the paint was brushed and scratched off. Details were added by painting, either side of the glass, with black and brown trace paint. After firing the paint the glass was curved by slumping it, in the kiln, over a metal mould.
Fish mobile
Seahorse mobile
Alexandra and Lawrence's Christmas presents. I made these (above) with float glass and frit but it took forever, as I coloured the glass first, which also meant two firings. I am now using Artista glass, which is much quicker but not as attractive?

But I do like the driftwood hanger ....................................................................
