Abundant Glass is the home of contemporary fused glass art and gifts, handmade in the Pennines by Jane O’Neill.

Jane is infatuated with the light, colour and textural possibilities of glass. She manipulates sheets of glass, glass particles and powders using a naked flame, carved fibre paper and a kiln. Each piece is hand sanded and polished to create a professional finish.

The Craft Fusion studio is where glass artist and designer Gregg Anston-Race creates his works of art. Every single piece is handmade by Gregg himself. The studio is a family run establishment, based in the Devonshire market town of Holsworthy on the Devon/Cornwall border.

Gregg was born in Truro and has lived in Cornwall all of his life, growing up in the area of North Cornwall. Regular days out to the coast and to the moors, exploring old mine workings naturally means that most of Gregg’s inspiration for his designs come from the rugged coastline of this area and from the mining history of Cornwall.

Gregg established the Craft Fusion studio in 2005, and since then has built up a large portfolio of galleries where his work is sold, from Penzance to Inverness. Various commissions for private clients and commercial businesses have also been designed and created.

Originally working with coloured glass, he went on to use mineral foils in the glass. This work was greatly influenced by the colours and effects he found in the deposits of metal ores in the old mine workings he had explored as a child, he stayed working in mineral foils until he felt he had developed this medium as far as it could go.

Feeling the need to stretch himself and to take his work on to a higher level, to create more flowing and organic lines in the work and develop new textures, more creative techniques and exciting colours. He now works mostly with coloured glass powder, producing vibrant and organic works of art.

Through experimentation, Gregg has been able to develop techniques for working with the glass powders that are unique to his work, which creates an unusual textured look in the glass, a process that requires a very long time in the kiln. The end result of this process allows the work to take on its organic forms.

Claire is a fused glass artist who works from her beach side studio in Fife where coastal elements are a constant source of inspiration.

Kiln forming techniques such as glass casting, fusing and slumping, allow Claire to manipulate the glass through the processes of heat, gravity and chemical reaction. The resulting piece has an element of unpredictability in its formation, which aligns closely to the physical forces and energy of the coast. Cold working processes are used to exploit the optical qualities of the glass and help create an element of vitality and movement.

Hayley is a glass blower that puts her designs into practice incorporating traditional methods and modern techniques to keep the ideas innovative.

Glass blowing is full of logical thinking, adrenalin and excitement, there is always something to learn and a new skill to master and Hayley enjoys the process of making glass.

It has a huge element of problem solving and demands quick thinking on her feet, whether in or out of the blowing bench, this drives the artist and keeps the work fresh and exciting. She explores the qualities of glass and expresses this with use of bold colours. She also uses cutting and polishing processes to accentuate these aspects further.

Hayley has had the opportunity to work alongside some amazing and influential glassmakers, which enabled her to establish her work in a number of galleries and exhibitions. She has learned from experienced and respected artists in her field making a wide network of contacts. Hayley has been able to liaise with gallery and shops, so she can achieve the optimum range of work for differing environments.

Hayley feels privileged to work in this industry and would not see herself doing anything else.

Kaye designs fused glass art at Willow House Studio in Haddenham, Cambridgeshire. She has been fascinated by glass for as long as she can remember and took her first fusing course in 2017 and became hooked.

Inspired by nature and her favourite places Kaye expanded her knowledge and skill base during the pandemic lockdowns. She creates her popular flower meadow range by using murrine and stringers made in Croatia along with crushed glass frit, as she builds up layers on clear glass to create depth.

Lindsey trained originally as a jeweller and silversmith on the Three-Dimensional Design degree course at the Birmingham School of Jewellery. It was through a commission to design a mosaic, as part of an artist in residency at a London primary school, that she began working in mosaic glass and ceramic tiles.

Lindsey is very attracted to highly reflective surfaces and the decorative use of small components in patterns, in many ways similar to gem-setting, just on a much larger scale and transferring her jewellery-making skills into mosaic work in her Shrewsbury-based studio.

The theme of mosaic floristry has developed over the past five years, with inspiration from the work of Andrew Logan and Gustav Klimt. The intense colours of stained glass, often donated as scrap by stained glass artists, pop against the black grout. There is a nod to Islamic art in the star-shape and patterning of the mosaic pieces so she remains a true magpie of ideas and influences.

Joanna is a designer-maker of contemporary glass using kilnformed and cast glass techniques. She graduated from the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham with a first class honours degree specialising in Glass. Joanna enjoys challenging herself and has studied for an MA in glass at UCA Farnham.

Joanna's designs are informed by her previous experiences, firstly as an archaeologist and lately as a landscape architect.

As an archaeologist, Joanna excavated artefacts, often broken, that sometimes became objects displayed in museums. This has inspired the designs for her most recent work, and she has created a number of pieces in lead crystal glass, casting from everyday domestic objects and wild flowers. These artefacts have the power to invoke strong memories, and by recreating them in lead crystal they become an item of beauty to be displayed and will last forever.

In 2004 Rebecca attended Rosella Chester’s glass workshop in Colchester, Essex. She quickly developed a love for fused glass and in 2009 decided to start selling her glass. Since then her techniques and the quality of her glass have developed considerably - there is nothing quite like creating and experimenting to hone your skills and teach you how different glasses fuse and different inclusions react.

Rebecca loves colour and her glass clearly reflects this. Almost all of the pieces she makes delight in colour and are designed to have light passing through them. Originally all her work was abstract, but in 2010 she began exploring how to represent nature in glass, in particular flowers and wildlife. Rebecca likes to challenge herself to try new subjects and techniques and now explores how to create landscape scenes using just glass.

Stopped Clock is a glass studio in Nottinghamshire, UK, run by glass artist Emma Mayle.

Emma studied glass at Lincoln University and enjoys playing with light and colour through her work to create vibrant jewellery and contemporary interior pieces.

The designs Emma uses on her glass pieces are primarily inspired by pattern, particularly that of geometric shapes found in traditional textiles. Products available include plates of various sizes, coasters, tealight holders, wall art and stand-alone sculptural pieces.

Nostalgic character decorations and female portraits with raised texture add an illustrative playfulness to the catalogue. The 3D effect bounces the light and is achieved by constructing the design between separate kiln firings at different temperatures.

We currently do not have any artwork available by Emma.

Molten Wonky was set up in 2009 by Katie Lynn. Having studied Stained Glass at Chelsea School of Art Katie had experience of working with the wonderful colours that are available in glass but found that she wanted to work in a freer more fluid way.

Katie loves making quirky, colourful and original products. She works in a random and haphazard way and that is all part of her unique work.

Colour and shape are a fundamental part of Katie's work. She enjoys cutting, designing and fusing the glass together. Dichroic pieces, wire, paint and millefiori are also added to create interest and to make each piece individual.
