I graduated from college with a degree in contemporary crafts, specialising in glass, where for my dissertation I studied various methods of making the Roman cage cup. My collection includes pieces based on these Roman cage cups, using 3D to design and print them before casting in glass.

 

The process is a variation of the lost wax method which has been used for hundreds of years to create objects in glass and metals. Other designs are made from a cast of an airplane my grandfather made, my plane in bubble collection.

 

Since leaving college I have set up my own studio with a kiln creating bespoke objects and commissions in glass. In my studio I mainly cast glass objects and create blown pieces when I have access to a hot shop.
