Welcome to my website!
In my glass studio in Rangiora I create Fused Glass Jewellery and small, decorative Leadlights.
Fused glass describes glass that has been fired in a kiln at a range of temperatures from 593 °C to 816 °C.
After the firing process the glass piece is shaped and might be re- fired.
This fantastic handicraft has been practiced since the days of ancient Egypt. Dichroic glass dates back to at least the 4th Century AD.
Modern Dichroic glass is available as a result of materials research carried out by NASA and is an exciting recent addition to the materials available to the glass artist.
'Dichro' has a particular transmitted colour and a completely different reflected colour. The colours shift depending on the angle of view.
Please browse the Jewellery/ Pendants and Earrings For Sale pages and/ or have a look at the Leadlight Gallery, I hope you enjoy them!
A collection of my work is for sale at the Art/Craft co-op shop Creative Genius, Shop 1 Boulder Point Precinct, Chisholm Crescent in Hanmer Springs. The shop is open Monday to Friday 10am-5pm, Sundays 9am-4pm.
