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 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.

The opposite side is semi-opaque and a very pale pink. It makes a stunning sculptural piece when lit or unlit.

This is a very simple piece that just lets the blue glass sing! The marine ply has come up beautifully with a bees wax and oil finish.

This is a very simple short tower of green dots of different hues and textures.  The led controller can be switched to cool or warm light but the nature of the green glass means the resulting light will always be somewhat warm.

This is a very simple tower of greens of different hues and textures.  The led controller can be switched to cool or warm light but the nature of the green glass means the resulting light will always be warm. The controller also allows for all sorts of flashing which is so unnecessary but maybe someone will like that???

Oak

Concrete

1590 mm high

370 x 370 mm base

This striking floor lamp is a very sculptural piece. The concrete and oak base gives stability and compensates for the weight of the glass shade while giving balance to the piece. It is a very contemporary reimagining of a traditional Tiffany style lamp. It would look equally great in a stark modern, mid-century modern or more traditional interior.
