Glass
Describe your work in one sentence:
I make stained glass windows and decorative kiln formed glass artwork
Why do you do it?
Glass is a lovely material to work with and as a bonus you get to play with the effects of colour and light
What keeps you going (what’s your GRIT)?
It is a joy to work collaboratively with customers to make something beautiful for their home that will be enjoyed for many years into the future. In my non commissioned artwork I like to see if I can translate the ideas I have in my mind into real objects and follow the unexpected paths that might appear along the way
What advice would you give to somebody wanting to become a ‘creative’?
My advice would be to follow your passion and do what makes your heart sing
Tell us something unusual about yourself?
In 2002 I went to Abbey Road Studios to be part of a recording of a B side of a single that went on to reach no. 9 in the charts – this is surprising as I can’t sing – luckily my role consisted of heckling the singer John Otway in the company of about 900 other people.
