Glass Artist

Colour has been the central feature of my glasswork, rich base colours with added trails, cane and shards contributing to the designs. Each piece is handmade in Stourbridge Glassblowing Studio. The interplay of form and design may result in a vessel that is as organic as the landscape or geology that inspired it. The magical medium of glass constantly asserts itself, introducing distortion, refraction and reflection. Surprises are ever present and lend to the uniqueness of each piece.

I studied at Shrewsbury Art School in 1992 and at the International Glass Centre in Brierley Hill from 2007 and then part-time until its sad closure in 2009. An initial interest in stained glass (see "Ploughman of the Moon") gave way to a fascination with hot glass. Towards the end of 2010 I jointly founded Stourbridge Glassblowing Studio in the refurbished Ruskin Glass Centre in Amblecote, Stourbridge. This relationship ended in 2019.  Although still in touch with the Studio, my glass-making is an occasional activity.  I am now developing my painting.
