FAQs

Here are the questions that I am most frequently asked. If you don’t find what you need, please feel free to contact me.

Glass specially made for firing in a kiln is hand cut, arranged (possibly in layers) and fired to create a unique piece of glass art. Sheet glass is often embellished with frit, stringers and glass enamel paints. The first firing fuses the components together. The piece may then be fired one or more times to incorporate additional design elements or to shape 3-dimensional pieces, such as bowls and waves, before the final unique piece emerges. Each firing takes from 6 to 24+ hours depending upon the process, size, thickness and design of the glass.
Yes! All pieces are handmade by the artist. As every piece is individually made using artistic art glass, colours may vary slightly and no two designs/patterns will be exactly the same.
Dichroic is a special and very expensive glass to produce. Thin metal-oxide layers create a dichroic effect with light wavelengths passing through. As a result, the glass changes colour based on the viewing angle and light conditions.
Fused glass items can be hand-washed in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not put them in a dishwasher, microwave or oven.

If the Experience Day is for two participates, it will continue as planned but will be held indoors. For larger groups, the Experience Day will need to be rescheduled. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled date, the full cost of the Experience Day will be refunded to you.
Yes, you may do so at any time. You will be offered an alternative date for your Experience Day or you may convert your payment into a Gift Voucher.
If you have to cancel 7 days or more before the date of your Experience Day, only 50% of the cost paid is refundable. If you cancel less than 7 days before the date of your Experience Day, no refund is available.
If this were to arise, I reserve the right to reschedule the Experience Day giving you as much notice as possible depending on the circumstances.
You must be over 18 years old to participate in one of my Experience Days.
Experience Days are usually held outside on my rear ground floor terrace. There are three steps to navigate from the path outside my home to the terrace. If you have mobility constraints, please mention this when you request an Experience Day so we can discuss the practicalities of your attendance.
Due to space limitations, please do not bring any spectators unless otherwise agreed by e-mail prior to the Experience Day.

Yes, but within a limited geographic area. Please see my Collection/Delivery page for further information.
