I wish to build myself a new studio this summer, my business is growing, I’m getting some amazing projects coming through that really excite me and make me want to push myself, explore more into the world of glass craft and artistic endeavor. Bigger projects in the pipeline also means I need a bigger space and more toys! So a new, bigger and better equipped studio is on the cards, hoping to have it built and up and running by the end of the Summer. New toys on the list include another Kiln for fusing, slumping and casting. A bigger compressor for sand blasting as my old one has seen better days and been with me since the beginning pretty much, some 18 years!!

The other brilliant thing that a bigger studio will allow, is for my teaching glass courses to get a little bigger. These have been going really well, I LOVE teaching and I’ve been getting some amazing feedback from my students about the different courses I’m running and I would like to expand the class size’s a little. I presently teach up to 3 people on a course and would like to expand that to 5 or 6 people. This still allows for lots of one to one attention throughout, but creates a bigger, better buzz in these practical , hands on classes. that are often described as Art Therapy by my students!
