About Me

I retired from a busy career as a university employed nurse educator in 2016 which provided the opportunity to explore and develop my creative skills. My studio is located in Bicknacre, near Chelmsford, Essex.

 

I take inspiration from many sources in everyday life and find that techniques employed in other crafts transfer well, using glass as a medium. Handcrafted fused glass provides a personal and unique product, and makes fantastic gifts.

 

I know the history of each piece from its conception as a drawing or an idea, to the selection of the glass and the processes used to achieve the end result. I use specialist art glass for my designs and the journey through creation and kiln forming processes is a beautiful scientific and artistic achievement every time. Opening the kiln is always a magic moment. I create each piece with loving attention and hope that my clients enjoy the pieces as much as I do creating them

 

I provide Fused Glass Experiences (workshops) in Bicknacre, for small groups. I have many years experience as a teacher, having worked in both primary and higher education and hold professional qualifications in teaching both children and adults. Please see the Workshops page or my Facebook page for details.

 

I am happy to consider bespoke commissions. Please contact me if you have something particular, or unusual in mind, or see a piece in our shop, but would like your own individual colour scheme.
