Midsummer
A collection of glass jewellery and vessels inspired by rural midsummer heat and the Suffolk fields. Incorporating gold leaf and my handmade murrini, applied in the flame. The totems are my own design of stacked sculptures of wearable, glass elements that can be slipped onto chains, wires, cord and hoops for wearing. The stand is made by a local woodturner. All glass elements made entirely in the flame.
