Welcome

Everything here is handmade and a one-off.

Most of my works contain some reclaimed materials. The glass will be a mixture of new and recovered glass. The normal characteristics of stained glass include indents, bubbles, roller marks and colour and texture variations. These add to the beauty and make the refracted images created even more intriguing.

I tend to do unique and different things with my materials. I have spent a lot of time and energy ensuring the final product will stand the test of time. Please note that glass is fragile (can break), the solder lines contain lead (keep away from very young children and wash your hands after handling). The glass can be wiped clean and a car polish like carnuba wax or Pledge spray can be used to polish it up if necessary. The timber has been rubbed with a mix of bees wax and oil. Over time it could benefit from another similar rub, especially if it gets a lot of sun.

All items can be picked up from my studio in Richmond. I am happy to deliver if reasonably local. Shipping will be at buyers expense and can be arranged.

Recycled Rimu Frame

LED strip 12 V with remote

325 x 400 x 75mm

Inspired by the Boulder Bank Lighthouse, Nelson. This is designed to be wall-hung but could sit on a horizontal surface if supported. I could modify the frame to take a couple of screws down through base. It could also be modified to hang in a window space..

The glass looks amazing lit or unlit. The cord can be removed if leaving unlit.

Copper foil

This is a little different. The panel is inspired by my tulip field series of light boxes. I made the totara block so it can wall hang. Needs 2 screws. It is not very heavy. A second totara block can be used when it is sitting on a horizontal surface.

It is stunning lit or unlit.

This box looks great with the Stripes series boxes ( see above). These boxes would look great as a set, stacked or hanging alongside each other.

This piece can stand alone or be hung on a wall. 

It is stunning lit or unlit ( as in image) and will throw shadows and refractions in natural and electric light.

Lamp with led bulb

This is in 3 parts - the lamp and bulb, the timber base and the glass shade.  The clear glass is reclaimed and purchased from a demolition yard as is the mahogany. The opposite side is semi-opaque and a very pale pink. It makes a stunning sculptural piece when lit or unlit.

Oak

This table lamp  was rather underwhelming with a white plastic disc on top.  I had a piece of old oak shelving which I hand cut into a ring to hold a bespoke stained-glass panel. The cut out of oak has been attached to the base. The oak has been rubbed in a bees’ wax and oil finish.
