My art work is mainly fused glass. I work as a Teaching Assistant in a local school, so this year after March, work patterns changed for a while. This allowed me blocks of time to follow a dream to teach myself to lead glass into panels of stained glass; a different set of tools. My inspiration came from our thriving garden and the wildlife within it. So I photographed and sketched the wren, dragonfly, glimpses of hares in the fields and the many wild or garden flowers. I have a small room to keep my fusing glass, but with new opportunities and no visitors, I spread glass across the house with exhausted family members stepping carefully around the 1.8 m lengths of lead and glass jigsaws in construction on the floor. I thank my family for their patience with me!
Previously I trained in ceramics and then got involved in fused glass, both of which I still enjoy. The process for the panel above was first preparatory sketches, choosing colour combinations and creating an overall design of lead lines. Next I cut and ground the glass to allow precisely 2mm gaps. I clean and black stained the glass with traditional Gilroy stain,I dried this to a powder and drew scraping back to reveal the coloured glass. This image is then fired permanently into the glass and the assembling can begin. I stretch lead, trim, fit, solder, cement, clean, blacken and polish. This takes many days to complete, yet it’s rewarding and I hope to continue making in the future. Each piece is unique, although I like to follow themes. It is only at the end in natural light that pieces really start to play, casting coloured shadows and changing tones with differing light conditions. |
