I'm pleased to announce that Rebecca Dobson is the winner of the Spennymoor Leisure Centre Drawing Competition.  The quality of submissions received was fantastic making it very difficult to choose.


Lets hope Rebecca keeps up her artistic skills.

The Diversity of Glass

Abstract, quirky, sculptural Glass Artists Amanda Heath, Richard Bell, Sarah Hayhoe and Stained glass Artist Janet Rogers encapsulate the beauty, brilliance and diversity of glass in very different forms.  Amanda's sculptured forms inspired by fossils of Dorset's Jurassic Coast embrace the raw power of free flowing molten glass, making a stunning contrast to Janet's vibrant contemporary stained glass panels.  Enjoy Richard Bell's unique bubble tank counterbalanced to create the illusion of hanging precariously over the edge of the surface and not to be missed Sarah Hayhoe's architectural forms enhancing the Walled Garden

New Stained Glass for Hexham Abbey

Pictures of panels for my exhibition at Hexham Abbey.  I used sifted powders and wafers for an alternative effect to painting.  Bob Leatherbarrow showed me this process during a master glass course at Warm Glass in Bristol.  Thanks Bob!   http://www.leatherbarrow.ca/
