  • Description:
    Savitrine Glassworks - Glass is a medium that exists in dichotomies; ancient and contemporary, ethereal and solid, transparent and opaque, mysterious and revealing yet above all timeless. I love to experiment with colours, patterns and layers to reveal hidden images; truly through the looking glass and into a wonderland of functional and beautiful pieces. I have always painted or made prints and have enjoyed it immensely. I was given an opportunity to attend a glass class with Dagmar Ackerman in May 2010 and became hooked. After some experimentation I have developed an affinity with glass and it is now my medium of choice. If confirmation were needed it came at a three day intensive master class with American glass legend Patty Gray in March 2011. Patty is knowledgeable, patient, inspirational but above all generous with her time and feedback. She has given me the confidence to experiment further and to just get on with it! Glass fusing is technically challenging and there is not a kiln opening without holding my breath before seeing what has developed. There is a fine line between success and failure but that is part of the addiction - to keep pushing not only the boundaries of the medium but also my creative vision. Appropriately for kiln fired glasswork Savitrine means "of the sun" in Sanskrit and is also a (terrible) play on words - Sa vitrine is "his shop window" in French. Kiln fired or warm glass includes glass fusing, glass slumping into moulds, glass paste (pate de verre) and glass casting. It is not glass blowing (hot glass), lamp or flame working or bead making. It can include cold working techniques like etching, sandblasting and carving. My aim is to produce functional and affordable art glass pieces and I hope you see something that catches your eye on display. If not, I am very happy to discuss what you have in mind and I have experience with commission work.
