Going with the Flow

Having been a knitwear designer for many decades, the desire to create her own ‘Art’ finally took over. Starting with ceramics and sculpture, Teresa discovered glass and fell in love with this amazing, alchemic medium; an alternative universe of just light and shadows.

She creates both sculptural and functional glass pieces. Her fused vessels and panels express her previous textile background and love of pattern and colour, creating one off slumping moulds which have a fabric, flowing quality. In her more sculptural pieces, she focuses on the figurative that gives a glimpse of the human form that is both mysterious and revealing but always with a story to tell. Teresa uses a variety of techniques including fusing and sand casting, as well as combining glass with ceramics and photography and also experiments with cyanotype prints.

Her inspiration comes from the sea and reflections, ancient art and archaeology, the human figure and its shadows, textiles and photography and with that, the detailed patterns that are found in everything around us. Every glass piece is an exciting challenge, a partnership between the artist and the glass as it works its own magic
