Smashing Glass!


Above is just a small sample of some of the items I made on a recent recycled glass workshop I attended locally in Ipswich. Anita does the most amazing work which she sells at fairs and gallery exhibitions but she also does workshops - for details of her work and the next workshops see http://www.misshoneypieglass.com/. It is a hugely creative day and really absorbing. The best bit is that all the glass is recycled using old window glass, primarily.
I met Anita at a local fair we were both exhibiting at and knew then that I would have to do one of her workshops! In fact I have been on two now and am itching to go again - next time Nicola is coming along too....Nicola lurve's glass so it will be right up her street! I've managed to frame the small hearts and my next job is to make up some wooden plinths for displaying the little houses and flower design...hopefully I'll get this done before I go again. I'm aiming to make some little glass Christmas tree ornaments for presents, and for the tree, next time I go. Gosh, I don't believe I said that word (Christmas) and it's not even June yet!

  1. I love the Christmas trees. I met Anita at Treasures of Suffolk last year. I must admit to buying a few Christmas presents from her.xx

  2. Hi Helen. Then I must have met you - I was exhibiting my handpainted furniture on the stall opposite Anita's at Treasures of Suffolk! Yes, I too bought some Christmas presents from Anita. It's great to be able to buy unusual things.
