My background was originally in the Theatre, training at The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Stage Management. I followed this by becoming a Theatrical agent, helping actors fullfill their dreams, but eventually found I was not fullfilling mine.
After leaving London for a quieter life in a small Kentish Village, I discoved Glass Fusing and Casting and have not looked back. One of the things I love about Glass Fusing and Casting is although it is design based, there is also a lot of skill and precission involved. Firstly I go though the thought process and design a piece. Then I have work out the technical process. Fusing or casting can take from 15 hours to many days.
