A day at Oxclose Nursery School
What a day, 78 children...aged 3-4 years old and glass! "Its real glass!" said one little boy..
We had a fabulous day making glass tiles and badges. The tiles will be exhibited in the main area of Oxclose Nursery School. The children will be taking the glass badges home. Everyone had a great day and lots of help from enthusiastic staff.

Extreme Platters Unique Service Ware
A
UNIQUE piece of glass is being served up to art-lovers
A
Pioneering design for extreme platters, which double up as serving ware and
works of art.
Three
feet long and fashioned from beautiful glass, the bespoke creations can form
the centrepiece of a table of goodies, and when not in use hang resplendent on
the wall.
Nowadays
so many people entertain at home and I wanted to create something that could be
used practically in the home but also had the wow factor as a piece of art.
They
can be a real talking point when friends are round.
I
like big and chunky as I like them to have presence. This is the biggest thing
I have ever made for the home and as far as I know I am the first to do this.
The
extreme platters can be made in any colour to match interior décor. They are
constructed using fibreboard cut into various shapes and sizes to create moulds
for the glass making each platter totally individually, numbered and signed.
The
extreme platters are available to buy from £150 and can be viewed in the Crushed
Chilli gallery and glass studio.
