A Eureka Moment

I made these dichroic beads a good few years ago and have tried may ways to string them into make a bracelet but every thing I tried I didn't like. I finally had one of those eureka moments today and I'm now happy the the finished product. The question now is do I sell this prototype or not!

Just Loving My Friend Jackie Hamilton's Work

Jackie and I started out at University together, but after completing her HND Jackie decided to head back north, very north back to the Shetland Isles where Andrew her husband is a GP on the island of Unst.

Jackie then proceeded to open up a tea shop and gallery on the island with her daughters before deciding to head south and finish her degree. I just love her work and think she has grown immensely and embrace so many techniques that are new to her and that are now reflected in her work.

Well done Jackie, just loving it and want to share your talent with everybody

Welsh School of Glass, Degree Show 2011

I didn't get time to post this at the time but with all this bed rest I finally have time to share some recent events with you.
On Saturday 4th June was the opening of the Welsh School of Glass part of Swansea Metropolitan Universities Degree Show. It was so nice to travel back over to Wales and catch up with family and friends. Especially as one of my chums who I started university with was graduating.

It is always good to see what the students have been working on and the quality of work being produced. I was particularly proud of the work that my friend Jackie had produced and how much her work has come on since I last saw her. Well done to you and everybody else who exhibited this year.
