And for 2022 onwards.....  Who knows!

.....moving house...new studio....who knows.....

It’s all about light, colour and movement through texture..... As well as using a lot of iridescent glass - the biggest glass pieces I’ve ever done so far.

These two sets of plates have a bottom layer of iridescent glass  which catches the light at certain angles.

I worked on some new ideas which involve multi layering, using a combination of 2 and 3 mm glass, transparent, iridescent and occasionally opaque glass, and a lot of precision cutting. They are very difficult, challenging and time consuming to create.

The plates here are all 12 cm square. They are gently curving to catch the light and emphasis the line and colours. They have a ‘retro’ or perhaps 50’s feel about them, which I like.

These platters are 30 x 30 cms square and they shimmer with light and colour...... And never look the same from any angle!
