Question 1

Can I commission a bespoke piece?

Accepted Answer

I take a limited number of commissions each year. Please get in touch through the contact page to start the conversation.

Question 2

Is your glass suitable for outdoor use?

Accepted Answer

Some pieces, such as my glass garden flowers and selected garden sculptures, are specifically designed for outdoor display. Decorative indoor pieces should be kept inside unless otherwise stated.

Question 3

Do you offer gift wrapping?

Accepted Answer

I tend to use recycled packing materials where possible and you might choose to repack the items if you wish to present them as a gift. Due to the risks related with sending glass by courier, I prioritise the safety of the piece. At the moment, I do not offer packaging.

Question 4

Do you ship outside the UK?

Accepted Answer

Regrettably, at the moment, I only ship within the UK.

Question 5

Do you have a physical gallery?

Accepted Answer

My work can often be viewed at exhibitions and selected galleries, as well as in my online shop. Please check my website and social media for current exhibitions and stockists. I also exhibit during Ealing Art Trail. Visits to my studio are subject to booking in advance.

Question 6

Can you fix broken glass?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. For my kiln fired/fused pieces I use only one type of compatible glass called Bullseye. This means that I can re-fire and repair my own pieces in most cases. However I’m unable to repair the glass of unknown origin.

Question 7

How long does it take to make a piece of fused glass?

Accepted Answer

Creating a finished piece often takes several days. The design is planned, the glass is carefully cut and assembled by hand, and then fired in a kiln. Many pieces require multiple firings, with grinding, polishing and finishing between each stage.While each firing in the kiln takes minimum 24 hours, the complete creative process, from concept to finished artwork, takes considerably longer.
