Artist Statement
Our work explores the Natural Form, its order as well as its sometimes unseen randomness. Most of our work gathers inspiration from the Natural World. We are inspired by the ordinary, yet strangely beautiful effects of nature and can become mesmerised by its colour, form, contrast and complexity.
The combination of detailed screen printing and the fluid nature of molten glass blends together to enable us to create our engaging pieces of Glass Art. We work in glass as it can be both transparent and reflective, colourful and tactile, the screen printed elements give layers of detail and added depth to the glass.
Each piece we create is a process of discovery for us, we hope, giving a similar experience to our audience.

Foxy
Inspired by my love of nature and foxes.
I created this fox using a Folk Art style, giving him a cheeky playful character. We have a mixture of mosaic and stained glass in the technique ultimately created in fused glass.
I love the Beech block with its beautiful natural texture.
