My glass fusing work is done mainly using Bullseye Glass which is all tested for compatibility.  One cannot mix glasses of different co-efficiencies or they will crack.  Unlike glass blowing, my design work is all done when the glass is cold.  Pieces are cut and laid up cold, then fired to create one solid piece of glass.  The process may involve several firings to form, shape, mold or cast.  All this is done in the kiln.  One finished piece of work may go through many firings until the completed shape evolves.  

Because of the cost of fusible coloured glass, I have been experimenting with recycled glass.  It gives me the chance to save some glass from the landfill and turn it into something beautiful and often...functional as well.

The work shown below is all currently available either directly through my online shop, or through one of the wonderful galleries offering my work for purchase.   I invite you to visit The Gallery at Mattick's Farm, the Gift Shop at  AGGV  or Piers Island Gallery to see my work.   Also carrying my garden arts pieces are Russell Nursery and  Butchart Gardens!  I'm so pleased to have launched a new series of sculptures big and small for the outdoors. :)
