Kate has an exhibition of new work 'Oculus' at Vessel Gallery London from May 1st until June 12th. 

We have been making a series of new spun roundels and large bowls, developing and abstracting themes around the landscape and introducing new works that reference the sky and beyond.

Images and more details to follow of the pieces in monochrome and colourful overlay glass.

"It's been wonderful, creative winter, working with new materials and ideas, exploring established patterns and making fluid linear marks on the surfaces of some beautiful glass Stephen has made for me".

We are looking forward to sharing images of the exhibition in due course. If you are in or near London I hope you can visit. 

The exhibition will be on during London Craft Week May 13 - 19 so that's two reasons to head to town.

Our on a camera walk on the moor top the land management, cutting and burning of the moorland is clearly evident. This makes a complex collection shapes, textures and colours. Just beautiful.

Sometimes, we make our studio bowls in a larger size.

We have a larger Monochrome Summer leaves available in the studio at the moment. Drop me a line for more info.

The light over Rosedale today was wonderful... half an hour later it became too hazy for pics as the smoke from a moor burn filled the dale..... I understand the reasons for the moor burn but sometimes it's hard to live with.

Our vases have just a small hole in the top, perfect to hold a single bloom or a small posey from the garden. They do vary from vase to vase. When you order if you'd like a larger diameter, drop me a line and I will take a look and find you the largest aperture of the days making.

The garden is full of hellebore, such a wonderful bloom.

I really enjoy bringing a few inside for our vases.

The glassmakers morning routine, usually involves being quietly shadowed, Marie keeps close eye on early morning comings and goings.

Narcissus 'Tête-à-tête' is one of the most popular dwarf daffodil varieties available.

I went on a little scrump in the garden and found these beauties. Perfect in every way for one of our grey ball vases.  Such a pleasure to gather such small blooms pop them in a vase and be able to enjoy them indo
