Glass Artist
These beautiful hand made stained glass crosses are 15cm tall and are currently available in six colours. The glass is classed as ‘streaky’ as there are shades of the colour in each piece.
If you’d like one of these do get in touch: cosycreativecrafts@hotmail.com
Seahorses are amazing creatures so I have used my artistic impression to create jazzy seahorses in glass. These beauties measure 9x18cm and are waiting to hang on a wall near you.
I’m in the process of making lots of lovely glass for this year’s craft fairs. I’ll share them as we go along but I thought I’d start with beach huts.
Be assured that sunnier days are ahead.
Thank you to everyone who bought glass from me and to those who bought vouchers. I’m really looking forward to seeing the recipients of the vouchers and helping them to make some amazing glass projects. I hope that your Christmas recipients were delighted with the glass you carefully chose.

Happy New Year and good health to all
Are you stuck for ideas for someone who has everything? How about buying them a glass workshop for Christmas. I offer e-vouchers for all of my courses.

To purchase please click the ‘Contact’ button which will enable you to send me an email with your request.
I can accommodate upto 3 people per workshop – come with friends or family or by yourself. I like people to make what they would like to make so please have a look at Pinterest or Google Images before you come for ideas. I have lots of inspiration here too. A workshop is a very mindful, creative experience, usually accompanied by smiles, laughter and cups of tea.
We had an amazing weekend at Art in the Park. The sun shone, my daughter and I drank 6L of water each day just to try and keep cool, and we had lots of visitors to our gazebo. They were invited to ‘Pause a while and add a tile’ on our community mosaic piece. Here is the result
A beautiful mosaic heart. Everyone was an artist and it made people smile….what could be better.

I have been quiet for a while for several reasons. My hubby and I have both had Covid, nothing worse than a heavy cold thank goodness. But I have been playing in the studio a lot but have only just finished some exciting new designs.
I decided to make lots of flower type pieces this year as I am going to a flower show or two. So, here are some characters to decorate the indoor type of flower pot. They are about 8inches tall and would stick in the compost around your chosen plant.
Then the real playing started.
This is made by fusing stringers onto a clear base, cutting the pieces into strips, turning alternate ones round, fusing with a clear glass cover and, voila…
The next fun things start in the same way, with stringers on a clear base, with stacked clear squares on top. Once fired, the stacked clear pieces distort the stringers.
Mini versions are available too. I decided to slump the first piece into a bowl rather than it hanging on a wall as I thought it might be too boggley!
If you fancy having a go at playing with glass (gnomes of your won or a boggly piece or something completely different) do get in touch using the contact button below or email me: cosycreativecrafts@hotmail.com. I am now taking bookings for April onwards as March is a tad busy.
Craft Fairs: here are a few dates to be getting on with –
Runcorn Shipping Village – 24th to 26th March
Highbury Hall, Birmingham – 10th April
Tatton Park – 7th, 8th May
I’ve attended my last Craft Fair of the year so I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has bought glass, came to a workshop or encouraged and supported me through 2021.
I have lots of ideas for 2022, a lot of flowery themed pieces as I will be going to a few Flower Festivals (yes, I’ve booked some craft fairs for next year already!).
Workshop eVouchers are still available so if you know someone who would like to come and try their hand at fused glass, mosaics or stained glass – or if you’d like someone to buy one for you, then do use the Contact button at the bottom of this post.
Have a Happy and safe Christmas
