Creative kiln fused glass - each piece handmade and unique.
Wall hangings, coasters, plates, platters, cheeseboards, cake plates, plaques, napkin holders, bowls, pendants and other unique items made-to-order.
We work to commission and sell off-the-shelf pieces from our studio in Norfolk and at selected events.
Some recent wall hangings Shown right
I've started to incorporate ribbon into some of the wall hangings and to add some other pieces I've made. It all started because I hadn't got enough places to hang things but I love the look of the boat one with another small piece I'd made hanging in front of it.
Both have been sold but can be reproduced to order.
A Sweetie-Pie bowl
First came some plates - now I'm making bowls using the same technique but with further firings. The one shown below (now sold) is in Autumnal shades and is approx 38cms across.

And another:
10 unique glass coasters - made as a gift for a couple who have a property in the Carribbean and a table that seats 10.
The Gecko was a happy memory.
Individually they are unusual and
somewhat abstract items but
together they mean something.
Each of these coasters (left is one) is 100mm square.

A recent special commission:
This client wanted a bespoke gift for a special friend. The brief was to create a free-standing piece to go on a window sill - the theme was sea, sky, beachuts and boats.
The main piece is 240mm across.

Rectangular platter
I enjoy combining words within my work and this piece started with the quotation. The somewhat flamboyant scattering of colour and unconventional scrolls are intended to make the piece less profound and more uplifting.
This piece is now sold but can be reproduced - with another legend if you wish.

Paper napkin holder
I love combining soft materials with glass. This piece uses a length of ribbon to tie the glass weight to the dispenser. You could even buy more than one weight so you can ring the changes with the theme/colours of your table setting.

Cow Parsley wall hangings
My most popular pieces to date. Inspired by our hedegrows and drawn by hand directly onto the glass which is then fired to create an entirely durable item.

New range of glass panels
take inspiration from nature
3 wall panels on a theme of autumn seed heads. There are great swathes of teasels around our property which I have incorporated with some honesty seed heads from my neighbour's garden to create these Autumnal wall hangings.
With the Spring coming soon, I look forward to watching the new flush of plants flourishand for 2012 I will make new pieces showing them in their youth.
All these pieces are glass "sandwiches" with the images drawn and coloured in the space between. They are consequently entirely durable and will not fade or discolour. Some have a 3D quality created by "slumping" and the bubbles are entirely random - no two pieces are the same.

The Sweetie-Pie range of plates and bowls
After experimenting with materials and firing schedules I came up with this concept. The edge looks like a pie-crust and with the inclusion of some dichroic glass which glitters or some bright gold glass (as in this plate shown right) they resemble sweet wrappers - hence the name.
I love their "random" quality which produces a surpise every time I open the kiln.
The plate shown right is my newest in this range, a one-off made for a 4oth Birthday gift with the name of the recipient disceetly incorporated into the rim.
I also make bowls using the same technique but this requires further firings. There is one shown further down this page.
