I enjoy handling the molten glass, the sense of flow and timing dictate my working style. Through team work and shared responsibility I have been exposed to various styles of glass blowing.
Venetian style glass working has always fascinated me the most. The combination of fluidity and accuracy used to create a precise piece of glass is something I aim for in my own work. I have utlised the technique of cane working for some time. I like the way the canes follow the external surface of a form, like natural contour lines helping the overall definition of the shapes.
