This patchwork of 10 cm squares combines traditional and contemporary pattern and pictorial elements. It looks absolutely stunning especially when lit from underneath by a spotlight. Made of fused clear, opalescent and dichroic glass some pieces also have embedded copper inclusions and the piece is hung on recycled copper double wound rings.

I started as a Stained Glass designer and maker way back in the early eighties, then got into Ceramics. While I was at University studying Ceramics I spent my time right next to the Glass department and this re-fired my love of glass. These days I throw ceramics and fuse glass, with both traditional and contemporary designs. I love both media for different reasons- the depth and light reflection of glass and the tactile nature of clay. You can see my full range at www.frogpottery-tadpoleglass.co.uk
