In my studio, Heart of Glass (studio 30), I design, manufacture and exhibit my glasswork. I produce various types of glasswork for sale from my studio, examples can be seen in my site's gallery. I also work to commission producing bespoke pieces, see process page for details on commissioning.

My glasswork consists of:

Traditional Stained Glass leaded window panels and copper-foil work (Tiffany Style) including smaller pieces such as light catchers.

Fusion - Kiln fired fused decorative glasswork from wall lit panels to bespoke pieces to individual decorative slumped pieces such as bowls, plates and platters.

Glass mosaic work including decorative wall hangings and wall lit panels.

I also design and make a range of Dichroic Fused Glass Jewellery.
