I love the challenge of multiple firings and the more difficult fusing techniques. By understanding the glass’s physical properties, surface tension and gravity the glass is able to be coaxed (often!) into the form I require. A great deal of experimentation is required, however, before the desired result is achieved.
I have attended many international artist workshops, both in New Zealand and overseas, in order to advance my skill level and enjoyment. This has led to the inspiration and confidence to explore the multitude of different techniques.
