Kaye Giles
Kaye designs fused glass art at Willow House Studio in Haddenham, Cambridgeshire. She has been fascinated by glass for as long as she can remember and took her first fusing course in 2017 and became hooked.
Inspired by nature and her favourite places Kaye expanded her knowledge and skill base during the pandemic lockdowns. She creates her popular flower meadow range by using murrine and stringers made in Croatia along with crushed glass frit, as she builds up layers on clear glass to create depth.
Rebecca Mansbridge
In 2004 Rebecca attended Rosella Chester’s glass workshop in Colchester, Essex. She quickly developed a love for fused glass and in 2009 decided to start selling her glass. Since then her techniques and the quality of her glass have developed considerably - there is nothing quite like creating and experimenting to hone your skills and teach you how different glasses fuse and different inclusions react.
Rebecca loves colour and her glass clearly reflects this. Almost all of the pieces she makes delight in colour and are designed to have light passing through them. Originally all her work was abstract, but in 2010 she began exploring how to represent nature in glass, in particular flowers and wildlife. Rebecca likes to challenge herself to try new subjects and techniques and now explores how to create landscape scenes using just glass.
Molten Wonky Glass
Molten Wonky was set up in 2009 by Katie Lynn. Having studied Stained Glass at Chelsea School of Art Katie had experience of working with the wonderful colours that are available in glass but found that she wanted to work in a freer more fluid way.
Katie loves making quirky, colourful and original products. She works in a random and haphazard way and that is all part of her unique work.
Colour and shape are a fundamental part of Katie's work. She enjoys cutting, designing and fusing the glass together. Dichroic pieces, wire, paint and millefiori are also added to create interest and to make each piece individual.
