GLASS ART COMMISSIONS
I am more than happy to receive commissions for bespoke glass art and welcome your requests. Do email me or give me a call.
Little Silver Hotel, Tenterden
The new owner of the Little Silve Hotel approached me before Christmas to commission the hotel in the new year. This was a joy to work on and was hand cut in the shop with three firings in the kiln to get the layered texture I needed. The piece measures 40cm by 30cm and is now hanging proudly in the hotel.
Family Portrait
‘Can you do people?’ I was asked last year. ‘Ummmm maybe?’ The commissioner then sent me a photo of 12 people that he wanted in glass art. This was not only a challenge but pivotal in the commissions I now produce. It turns out, yes, I can do people and they are lots of fun to work on – and so personal of course!
Family of Cats
I loved creating this commission! A family of cats for a birthday present for a special lady’s birthday – not only of the current cats in the household, but as a memory of loved cats no longer with us. The brief was to create caricature cartoons but at the same time trying to capture something of their personalities. Working from photos and information it was lovely to pass this one over and watch the owner giggle at their characters shining through the glass.
The Oast House
This commission was for the owner of this oast house, commissioned by her sister for her birthday. There is a lot of detail in this piece and a coming together of several photos of the house to build a view that included the flowers in summer, so important for this garden loving lady. The art measures 40cm x 30cm and is presented on an oak stand.
Harlyn Bay, Cornwall
This scene is Harlyn Bay in Cornwall – a very special place for a lady who swims in these waters very regularly. Her sister in law asked me to create her favourite place in glass for her 65th birthday in October. There was a tight deadline but I was delighted to be able to meet it in time.
Woolacombe Bay, Devon
This is the ever changing view of the bay from Woolacombe Rise in Devon. All three were commissioned by lovely Sophie for her three daughters who enjoyed big birthdays last year. This is the view from Grandpa and Grandma’s House. Individually, the pieces are entitled ‘Hope’, ‘Sunset’ and ‘Harmony’.
Each piece measures 30cm x 40cm and is presented on a live edge oak stand.
