art-glass-craft

The traditional techniques of lead, copper foil and glass cutting are allied to modern design interests in producing a range of 2D and 3D glass artefacts, such as:

mosaics, mirrors for the house and garden, lighting features, etched and painted glass, sculpture, gift ideas - eg. boxes and light catchers, windows.

The beauty of manufactured glass is an inspiration, with the variety of effects that can be achieved by the joining of differing types of glass. The excitement of the spontaneous decisions when creating a montage, a mosaic of glass, decisions made in a creative and expressive moment.

Living in Andalucia, Spain encouraged a more planned, constructed and considered approach for some pieces of work, as the traditions of Arabic patterning were experienced.

A continuing interest in Constructivist art still leaves me pleased with the idea that an aesthetic object can also have a function. An object can function as a mirror, for instance while also eliciting an emotional response.

Particular interests are mirrors, especially mosaics on board and mirrors for the garden, a relatively undeveloped pursuit. Lighting has also become an increasing interest by designing new shapes, volumes and colour combinations to produce new lighting features.
