Born in Sutton Coldfield 1949, I am a freelance glass engraver and designer. I was taught point, drill and copper wheel engraving on glass by Peter Dreiser at Morley College, Lambeth from 1984-7 and continue to explore these techniques at my workshop in Clerkenwell. Working with clear or colour-cased crystal, mostly blown to my design by Neil Wilkin, my subject matter ranges widely from natural history to the modern urban landscape.
Wheel engraving on glass does not need to be traditional in style or content. My work is becoming less figurative, more focused on the properties of the glass and the action of specific wheel engraving marks, drawing the eye beyond the surface, into the glass where refraction develops further possibilities. The result is, in my opinion, more original and more satisfying.
Glass engraving is no longer taught in UK universities. Until April 2005 I taught glass engraving at Morley College. I continue to teach at workshops within the Guild of Glass Engravers and the Contemporary Glass Society, I aim to keep this beautiful, highly skilled technique alive for another generation, before it is lost for ever. |
