Creative Process

Handmade by me in my studio using a variety of glass mediums. On a base of stunning blue glass flowers and leaves have been drawn with white glass fusing paint to make the design. The piece is then fired in the kiln to just the right temperature so that the glass only just starts to melt creating a shiny surface. The piece is then fired in the kiln to just the right temperature so that the glass only just starts to melt and becomes a smooth raised contour to the surface making a very tactile piece. On a second and final firing the piece is placed on a narrow circular mould around which the glass can drape forming the distinctive ‘Handkerchief’ shape. Each firing process can take up to 14 hours to complete and every time the glass is fired it is cooled slowly and annealed for long enough to give it durability and strength. 

As these are hand made and draped in the kiln they are not completely symmetrical but unique one of a kind pieces!
