Southwold
Blue skies, sunshine, fluffy clouds? Take the weather with you - you will find these glass rings fresh from the kiln at the #oneandonly @craftco_southwold where I’m an associate member. Plus a @suffolkcraftsociety show opening this Thursday in the Upstairs Gallery, all less than five mins walk from the seafront… ALSO find me inland (but not too far) at my Earl Soham studio this coming weekend for @suffolkopenstudios

Collections
#slowsunday got busy - posting in the afternoon! #glass based on collections/collectors and cabinets of curiosity. The two non-local items in the small case are a treasured stag beetle from Malaysia and a casualty of my favourite blue&white from Thailand. Yesterday a guest filled me in on the plight of the stag beetle in the UK (critical) and advocates leaving the tree stumps and fallen branches well alone whenever possible. Thanks to everyone who has made their way into The

Weekend
It’s the final weekend at Snape Maltings for @suffolkcraftsociety in partnership with @brittenpearsarts and worth a visit in every way. My Riverbank and Estuary #glass reflect the shifting colours and shapes that form the landscape, the blues (Estuary) have been most popular, perhaps that reflects our appetite/need for blue skies. I will be opening solo here at The Quay Gallery next Thursday at 1pm so #savethedate !

Provenance
Where did these #glass talisman earrings come from? I’m not really sure, galloping up from my subconscious while in the process of exploring talismans/amulets connecting fortune and fertility. As with the following pieces, my #talisman rings (similarly serious, silly and suprising) have also been very popular. It’s our last week of Being Woman at @mandellsgallery in Norwich, it’s a wonderful gathering of artists so do visit.

April
Memory & Desire #glass earrings. ‘April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain.’ With the utmost respect for The Wasteland, I reckon February or March are stronger contenders for cruelest month? Find a selection of my glass at the splendid Being Woman exhibition at Mandell's Gallery until April 18th 2026
