                                                        Artist's Statement

                                                        I am a glass artist & professionally qualified teacher living & working on the outskirts of the  Peak Park.  I use a variety of different glass types and techniques including lead, foil and kiln work.  I design & manufacture all my own work which is inspired by nature & organic forms and the countryside in which I live.

                                                        Small-Scale Work

                                                        I am currently producing textural work using the colours and shapes of the surrounding moorland.  I use traditional & modern design & manufacture methods to produce small scale art works and functional objects.

                                                        Large-Scale Work
                                                        I produce large scale, tailored individual commission pieces (usually leadwork) for a variety of clients including churches, public spaces & private individuals.  I also do restoration and conservation work.  My latest pieces incorporate traditional glass painting within modern abstract designs.

                                                        I run courses in glass (leadwork, foilwork and kiln formed) both within a community setting and privately.

                                                        I also work in willow, teaching sculpture & basic basketry and produce commission pieces.
