About

I run daily workshops at the studio in Seilebost where you can join me and make your own piece of fused glass art to take home. Booking is via my website where you can choose from a few different pieces to make. The glass is fired in a kiln overnight and is then available to be collected or posted on to you. I also have some products and larger glass artworks for sale in the studio where you can watch me at work!

I started making fused glass as a hobby with a tiny kiln in the kitchen that was bought as a Christmas present. I fell in love with the process of designing and making glass, experimenting with lots of different ideas. After listing a few things on Etsy I finally invested in a bigger kiln and installed it in a shed at the end of the garden.

Things have grown from there and after visiting the Isle of Harris many times over the years we finally took the plunge and bought a house here. My first studio was in the shed next to our house in Cluer, a small village in the bays of Harris.

In 2024 I took up a lease at the old school next to the beach in Seilebost. I have more room to make glass and have also been able to move all the packing material out of the house. I can now run workshops from the studio as it's a lot more welcoming than my draughty shed.

I like to experiment with new designs and techniques, and still love the excitement of opening the kiln each morning and seeing what transformation has taken place. When not in the workshop I can be found out running with my dog, Scout, or knitting.
