ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I am relatively new to glass and still learning and exploring various kiln-formed techniques. I enjoy fusing and slumping as well as copper foiling. More recently, I have had the opportunity to experiment with both open and lost wax casting which gives me the scope to experiment with more complex forms as well as being able to make my own moulds. I am also interested in pâte de verre where I can experiment with shape, texture and the fragility of the pieces - often being influenced by the Cornish coast where I spend a lot of my time walking.

ARTISTS BACKGROUND
I started my adventure with glass just over eighteen months ago attending a couple of one-day introductory courses and a five-day kiln-formed glass workshop. I was fascinated by the variety of glass techniques and, like my ceramicist friends, the thrill of seeing how my work turned out after opening the kiln. Having always been interested in art, I enrolled in a one-year glass diploma course in Art & Design at Kensington & Chelsea College (KCC), graduating in July 2017. Encouraged by my tutor I also began attending creative glass workshops at Richmond Adult Community College (RACC). I am continuing my learning, studying for my BTEC Level 3 Glass Certificate in Art & Design as well as attending other specialist glass workshops.
