Hello,
I'm a glassblower with a studio in London. I fell in love with hot glass during a taster session on her BA hons course over 20 years ago.
After graduating I worked in several glass studios and attended classes at Pilchuck and Haystack in the US. In 2000 I did an MA at the Royal College of Art.
Hot glass is an amazing creative outlet, I love sharing the joy of working with this fantastic material.
