PROJECTS
CORNUCOPIA
CORKED
These large vases and shallow bowls have been created by blowing the glass into hand made blow moulds, made entirely out of prosecco and champagne corks, wired and strung together.
KALEIDOQUIN
KALEIDOQUIN
A modular sculpture created from mould-blown tetrahedrons using the primary colours of light. This project explores the use of the cold-working technique 'battuto' to create detailed textures and patterned surfaces.

DIAMOND RING
The start of something new. As I have been so focussed and generated so many ideas from such a simple starting point - the triangle, I thought now would be the time to experiment with a new simple form - The cube
TRIONICAL
Initially inspired by kaleidoscopic patterns and fractals, this is an ongoing project that explores glass' relationship with the primary colours of light - cyan, magenta and yellow.
Inspired by the vibrant colours, movement and beauty of the underwater world. Glass is the perfect medium to express a love for life at 'reef-level'
The beach and sea can provoke feelings of calmness and tranquility there is a natural connection between water and glass, because of the material's transparency. These creatures are the result of looking at forms found at the beach
I am constantly seeking to progress my technique and learn new skills. Whilst in the hot shop, I like to push myself to be experimental with the material, as well as practise historical techniques.
