Several
years ago I attended a stained glass course at my local education centre
(Swathmore in Leeds), and I found a passion for creating glass pieces using
traditional stained glass techniques – both using copper foil for smaller
pieces and lead for larger ones.
After
becoming more proficient in the basics, I decided to invest in the equipment I
needed to enable me to continue to develop my skills at home – that was the
beginning of the journey, after filling all the windows in our home with glass
creations, I began to give them away for any occasion!, and then friends and
family started to commission pieces, this then led to my trying my hand at
selling to the unsuspecting wider world!
And
so evolved Glass Bubble – I love the translucent qualities of bubbles and
although most of my work is nothing what so ever to do with bubbles, it seemed
as good a name as any!
I
find that I have a constant stream of creations waiting in my mind – and often
the only thing keeping them there is the time it takes to make them reality. It
is a time consuming process and many of the pieces that I make are often very
delicate and fragile.
Each
piece is made individually, by hand, many are one off, which may be recreated, although
never exactly the same.
I
am happy to consider commissions.
Thanks
for reading!
