My interest in glass has developed over many years and I have attended several courses, including City & Guilds. These courses included stained glass, glass painting, warm glass and hot glass work, allowing me to explore approaches and to extend the range of my work. Recently I have began exploring multilayer fusing with glass powders to create detailed painterly images Since moving to Suffolk, I joined the Suffolk Open Studios (SOS) scheme - promoting budding new artists in the County. I successfully exhibited, together with over 120 Artists, at the annual SOS Showcase exhibition, at Rougham Barn, near Bury St.Edmunds, 2007/8/9 and together with six other artists, I hosted a members exhibition at my studio in 2008. As part of SOS, members open their studios to the public for a weekend in June. With a combination of short talks and display my studio has proved popular each year. I believe that opportunities to use decorative glass today are excellent. Decorative glass is very versatile allowing for a splash of colour in many forms, to accent any room in a way that no other medium can provide. |
