Lesley Cooke Fused Glass
I have been working with glass for several years now. My inspiration comes from the natural world; light particularly has always intrigued me - maybe that’s why I love glass. The iridescent or metallic sparkle in the pieces I make echo the rainbows that fascinate me.
Marion GlassSmith
I have always been attracted to objects made from glass and am constantly inspired to experiment and explore the many and varied processes in which this fascinating medium can be used. I have an online shop on the Folksy website where you can buy some of the items that would have been at the Mill Road Winter Fair.
Terry Chance Mosaics etc
I work in the copper foil stained glass and mosaic methods to create quirky creatures, suncatchers, wall art or mosaic jewellery. Stained glass has such a vivid range of colour and with wire embellishments I can really give expression to my creations. I love the wacky, and people certainly do smile when they see my work. I hope you enjoy it!
