Experiments exploring the underside of an orange-tip in #glass

Thanks to everyone who discovered me or returned to find me at the Quay Gallery last week. Now I’m working towards @suffolkopenstudios (June weekends 2&3) and hope to see you there, as the fiery process is also a joy. Collections of my #glass can be found at @craftco_southwold @walsinghamgalleryandframing and @designermakers21

#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

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 !

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.

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?

Eyes in the back of your head? A pair of #glass and bamboo hair-sticks, taken off my hands and immediately worn yesterday. An International Women’s Day spent with friends and fellow artists at the opening of Being Woman (attended by around 300 folk) where you will find similar #glass of mine. This impressive and diverse exhibition runs through to the 18th April - and I’m going back for another look without the crowds!

I knocked a carefully sorted thousand #glass flowers onto the floor while spring-cleaning my workbench. A warning not to clean - or a suggestion to mix things up?

Opening the kiln in the morning to remove #glass from the day before: when it’s good it’s very, very good and when it’s bad it’s horrid. Appreciation for @kilncare for my cleverly designed, capacious and reliable Maxi. Find video on my Insta or FB pages.

Find the video on my Facebook or Instagram pages: Making #glass Millefiori: a meditation and a small winter garden on the workbench. This is a layered and absorbing process with endless variety to be had in the results. The larger-scale process constructs pattern by bundling coloured glass rods together in great clusters.

Experiment and play is the best (and often the only) way into a new year for me. Leading with impulse and colour over words and ideas is my proper reset. To that end I’ve been making a thousand flowers… millefiori: the process of creating complex #glass cane where the pattern runs down the cross-section. Then superheated, stretched, cooled and cut into numerous chips. I should/will show it better in a video when the natural light on my workbench is more generous.
