Page 1 I am a glass artist with a passion for working with people, and creating beautiful and engaging objects.
I am driven by the desire to produce objects of quality and refinement that will intrigue the viewer. I aim to apply these principals to my workshops, supporting people and enabling them to achieve their best. I believe the arts have a gift in offering people a sanctuary, sense of achievement, confidence and purpose. I aim to make this accessible to all, providing workshops that allow all to participate, including those with disabilities.
I am an enthusiastic, motivated individual with a passion for life. I believe craft should be enjoyed and to do something because it is fun is a valid reason in itself.
