I first became interested in glass art after visiting a shop in Devon many years ago that made mainly Tiffany style lamps, I decided that I would like to try myself at making something in glass.

 I bought all the relevant tools etc, and a few books on the subject, and taught myself over the years how to make Lamps, Terrariums, Mirrors, Leaves, Bowls, Fairies, Butterflies, Disney and Star Wars figures, window Panels etc., and thoroughly enjoy a new challenge.This all started around 25 years ago, and I still enjoy the art after all this time.

I have had quite a few commissions for work over the years but now, being retired, it is purely a hobby for me.
