Natural World
Strata
​
Pate de Verre bowls inspired by layers, water, light and the movement of the earth.
​
First a plaster cast is made and packed with layers of glass. Next this is fired in the kiln which takes over 16 hours.
Once it has cooled, the plaster cast is broken away from the glass. This is when I really hold my breath!
Finally the glass is cleaned, polished and gilding is applied to enhance the design.
Large Coral Bowl
Evoking the lattice of undersea coral, this bowl is created from a range of blue and green strips used to form the unique shape.
China Blue Landscape
Inspired by blue landscapes on china plates, this standing picture uses streaky glass enhanced with blue powder to create an ethereal landscape. It is then mounted on a beautiful yew wood stand.
