Etched glass and sterling silver necklaces

Blue and ivory barrel bead with silver dots

I am an emerging glass artist and specialise in making unique focal glass beads, bead sets and sterling silver jewellery from my studio on the Mendip Hills.

I love the immediacy of melting glass directly in the flame and exploring the endless possibilities available using materials and techniques such as silver foil, etching, shaped glass presses and fine silver wire.

Before discovering lampwork, I completed an HND in Architectural Glass at North East Wales Institute and have spent the last 15 years teaching stained glass, mosaic and jewellery courses in Adult and Community Education with my most recent courses at Backwell Community School and the For All Healthy Living Centre in North Somerset.
