It’s All Go!
Well, it is this week! I had a message from my liaison at school, John, to ring him urgently…. uh oh, I thought they’d broken my art work or something!But no, the builders were in, sorting the board for mounting the piece and they wanted me to be there – to make sure we all agreed to the best way of installing it.
I have to say, when I went back in the afternoon, it went much quicker and more smoothly than when it was installed at Uni – I don’t know how much of that is down to the fact that I have the benefit of experience of going through it all once, and knowing what pitfalls do avoid, best way to do things, etc or whether it was because I was working with two builder/joiner type chappies instead of art lecturers (sorry Jerry & Rodger!)…Either way, it was fixed to the board, and is now on the wall in the place it was designed for in the first place…. and I personally think it looks amazing.These photographs aren’t brilliant, I need to go back with tripod and take some better shots, but I was so excited I couldn’t wait to show you.

I am treasured!
I started listing a few more things on Etsy, thanks to the encouragement of friends on Frit Happens.I am now part of the Frit Happens Etsy ‘Street’ Team, who do a fantastic job of promoting it’s members…And I have been picked for a treasury already!

Groovy Baby!
I did it. I actually did it. I listed something on Etsy….
I thought I would give it a try. Etsy is an online facility for buying handmade, vintage and interesting goods. It’s quite popular amongst my friends in the lamp-working community.
Although the work I am going to list on Etsy doesn’t really fit into the public art category, it is a good way of carrying on working with glass, developing ideas on a smaller scale, and importantly, showing what you can do with glass fusing, which I hope will encourage people to sign up for a workshop when they’re up and running (which will be as soon as the workshop is a bit warmer!)
Here’s what I have listed…

Tile Works
This is one of the tiled pieces that I made in the summer… finally got round to photographing some work the other day!This one sits by the fire (well, the wood burner) at the studios – it went on the wall at our open event, and it looks just right in the space – saved me packing it away!
I spent most of the day photographing, was good to get back to the camera – expect a few more pictures over the coming week or so!
