Making
I work with heat, gravity and colour to shape kiln‑formed glass. Every piece moves through cutting, layering, firing and cold‑working — a slow, precise process shaped by the tools I build and the materials I choose.
What I Make
Small-batch kiln-formed glass objects and contemporary objets d'art.
Work made through controlled heat, movement and material response.
Glass arranged in layers to control colour, density, mass and light.
Heat begins to fuse the layers, shifting colour and structure.
Heat softens the glass, allowing it to take on new form.
A second heat cycle extends the form, pushing it further.
The rim is cut and trued, preparing the form for final shaping.
Final refinement resolves the surface and edge, completing the form.
The piece stands finished, shaped by heat, gravity and intent.
