What have you been up to during this period of Lockdown? Like me, perhaps you’ve re-decorated everything in sight, cleaned out your cupboards and now have a stock of bags to go to charity shops, whenever they re-open! I have also been working on some creative ideas. I was cleaning the studio, repainting bits thatContinue reading “Lockdown progress”

Well, what a strange Spring we are having. I retired in February but didn’t realise that everyone was going to join me! I am very fortunate to have my studio in my back garden so access to it is unrestricted as many other glass artists can’t get to play as easily. I have been makingContinue reading “Lockdown Glass”

I’ve been working on some quirky animals / birds and I’d like to introduce you to Amelia (with the ‘skirt’) and her Hen pals, that’s Molly, Polly, Jemima, Alice and Susan. These ladies are all free standing and will soon be joined by more friends. Soon to be available at a craft fair near you.

I have been working hard on my 2020 designs and booking lots of craft fairs for the year. It seems that I have made designs using my C curve moulds although there will be other shapes coming soon. My first new design is a seascene. This is a standalone piece and the sandy rocks atContinue reading “Curves, curve and more curves”

My last Craft Fair for the year is over and although I still have three workshops I’m getting ready for Christmas. What do I buy that tricky person in the family? How about a taster workshop? Well, funnily enough that’s exactly what would make a great gift for your difficult person who has everything too.Continue reading “Christmas Gift Ideas”

I know that there are lots of animal lovers who come to craft fairs. Some bring their dogs with them so I thought I would produce some glass pieces that reflected this. The paw prints are cut from copper foil and sandwiched between two pieces of glass, the top one being clear. I have justContinue reading “Paw Prints”

My Christmas Craft Fair season is well under way. I met some lovely folk in Banbury today. It’s great going to craft fairs locally as I begin to see regular customers. Here’s my table from today, although not everything here is still for sale! They’ve gone to be loved by someone, for themselves or asContinue reading “Christmas Craft Fairs”

The year is progressing at a terribly fast rate. I have a granddaughter who was born in January and is now 9 months old. How does that happen? I have been working hard to prepare my goodies for Christmas. I showed my Christmas trees in August – I have now made about 100 and I’mContinue reading “Christmas at Christmas”

If you are a crafter then you always have to begin your Christmas designs well ahead of time, especially if you want to make more than one of anything. I am in the process of making glass Christmas tree decorations. I started off by making 50 but I have two venues other than my craftContinue reading “Christmas in August”

I am delighted to have a stand at this event on Sunday. The fair is full of goodies to try, demonstrations to watch and lots to buy. Having craft stalls there this year is a new venture so it’s going to be interesting to see how it goes. Because of the subject of the fairContinue reading “Banbury Food & Drink Festival”
