Glass by Debbie

Unique, colourful and fun glass

I am a fused glass artist working from my studio in the small town of Cricklade at the edge of the Cotswolds. I discovered the wonders of kiln formed glass whilst on a particularly wet summer holiday in Cornwall about 4 years ago. I started my glass adventures at my kitchen table with a tiny second hand kiln that I received for Christmas, and have now got a much bigger kiln and have taken over an unused stable at the end of the garden to accomodate my creations!

I create individual and unique items from glass which I fuse in my kiln to leave a beautiful and tactile glossy finish. I make plates, soap dishes, coasters, sun catchers, drinks stirrers, ornamental art waves and framed glass pictures. I sell my products online and direct to the public in craft fairs in Cirencester and the surrounding area. I am able to take individual personalised commissions. As all my items are handmade, each one is unique.

My new found love of glass has become a time consuming passion, and I am constantly on the look out for new ideas and inspirations. I particularly love striking and bold colour, and exploring the reactions that can occur between different colours of glass. My latest creations are glass seahorses, starfish and geckos that I have framed. I make large plates in a colourful retro style, as well as a series of mounted glass waves that cast a fantastic shadow as the sun shines through them. I also design and make drinks stirrers, and am able to customise these to reflect the colour and design of a particular bottle. I am also able to supply stirrers at a reduced coast if ordered in large quantities for events such as weddings or parties. I can also offer wholesale discounts on other items for retailers.
