Leadlight Studio

You'll need your shades on for this post!
Myself and popped along to see Jim Halts exhibition. It was lovely to meet you Jim, and wonderful to see these in person after following your process and progress for many years.
That much stain on one panel is insanely good!
Check it out if you can. It's on for a month.

It's only by experimenting that we are able to explore, move forwards and develop. Samples are a great way of keeping track of what works, and what doesn't. I have a box of them as well as a catalogue of firing schedules. I often have to refer back to see how I created a particular mark or pattern. It's like a giant glass sketchbook!

More homemade glass paint experiments, this time on opaque glass. The second image is using bistre brown, and my red and yellow oxide paints.
I'm in love with the combination of these colours!

A little shout out to my friends!
I've had a tough couple of months juggling various things and caring for my neighbour. I'm eternally grateful to the friends I have that keep me grounded and cheer me up on a daily basis.
This piece is based on some of my lovely synchro team

Magnolia study.
Enamels and Grisaille.

I made a little poster of Martha, my Bathing Belle.
As I pack up the last of my Lido Lady preorders from what seems like months ago. I'm now moving onto cutting and painting my Bathing Belles and Beau's!

How gorgeous are these m**f tops!?
I couldn't help taking some photos of them basking in the recent sunshine. I've been slowly working my way through some of curved offcuts from the top of his hand blown cylinders and slumping them flat.
They are utterly divine, and the colours are so intense.
Now... what shall I make?!
