My shop and studio is located in St Austell Market House, if you’d like to collect please let me know!
The wave is created in my Studio and is a 2-3 day process, layers of thin coloured glass, crushed glass and powdered glass are used to create an intricate design. It is then heated in a kiln for 13 hours to fuse the crushed glass together, after cooling and cold working it is returned to the kiln where it is slumped over a mould for another 13 hours to create the distinctive curves.
The texture creates a large surface area to allow reflection and sparkle of the natural light. The transparent glass allows light to pass through and the slim footprint allows the glass to be displayed on a narrow shelf as well as windowsills. This fused glass, freestanding wave can sit on a windowsill or shelf and catches the light wonderfully. Candles can be lit behind the wave to add extra ambiance.
This image is inspired by the iconic “Nearly Home trees” on the Devon / Cornwall border at Lifton, also known as Cookworthy Knapp. Many weary travellers love this heartwarming image when arriving back in Cornwall. Little sheep graze at the bottom of the hill. Iridised spring green glass is complimented with Aventurine Green and jade green and texture is incorporated to increase light reflections.
It is 9 cm tall and approx 23 cm wide. The wave is signed.
Each piece of my glass is created without templates or machinery so no two pieces are identical, therefore pieces may differ slightly from photographs.
