Herb Garden: potions, poisons and cures. Find my #glass with @beingwoman2026 at Mandell’s Gallery in Norwich.

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!

Marking cycles of nurturing, growth, death and regeneration. Find my Herb Garden #glass at @beingwoman2026 a powerful, intergenerational and cross-disciplinary exhibition of works from selected artists. Join us for the opening on International Women’s Day, this Sunday, at @mandellsgallery in Norwich.

There are ladybirds all over the herbs today, #glass herb garden WIP for @beingwoman2026 opening this March at @mandellsgallery in Norwich #savethedate

Muted landscape #colourplay in #glass looking forward to exploring the textures next. WIP for an upcoming project.

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.

I’m about to teach my final two workshops of 2025, HOWEVER - they make a marvellous gift and are not contingent on final postage dates before Christmas… find out more via the contact page on my website, link in my profile.

Thanks to everyone who found their way to my Open Studio 🙏 it intrigues me when an overlooked item is seized on with relish. Red and The Wolf are all that remains of a #glass foray into folk tales a LONG time ago, currently having a polish and being packaged up before handover. Perhaps it’s time to go back into the woods.

Colour therapy for this all-day, pall of grey. An early November gift from a skilled gardener, so I decided to pull the colours in #glass immediately and record the moment for future use.
