CHASE
Now in its 7th year, pleased that the annual CHASE event at the RCA went well. Some bigger black and white bowls found good homes. Thank you to Mark Holford for the annual effort to organise the glass and raise funds for such a good cause.
In one evening, up to £100,000 is raised for CHASE which is a children’s hospice in Guildford. They do tremendous work in supporting children who are not expected to reach their 19th birthday. It is entirely privately funded and receives no government support. They have to raise over £2m each year and the Exhibition is one of their key fund raising events..For more info go to www.chasecare.org.uk.
Champagne Bowls
Nearly at the end of the edition.
Just sent some of the bowls in different colours down to Contemporary Applied Arts for Christmas. 5 now left in the edition of 50.
New Web Site
So, a new web site has gone live, dedicated to our individual pieces
Our beautiful bowls will remain on the existing site, and can of course be ordered online.
The new site points you in the direction of the galleries we work with to represent the individual works.

New Aesculus June 14th- 20th July
The show opened on Saturday 14th. Thank you to everyone who visited. I am pleased with the results. Its been good to make a good body of work.
CAA Focus
Heres a pic of the 3 pieces we finished for the focus at Contemporary Applied Arts. Black, White and Clear Aesculus. I am pleased with the way, the pieces are moving, its good to be making new work again and developing ideas, forms and surfaces. Always good to see pieces well displayed, lit and in another context away from the studio to make sure they really work individually and together . I am really happy with these three and looking forward to making new pieces.
Contemporary Applied Arts PV.
Went down to London on Thursday 24th for the opening of the Glass House Show. Interesting, eclectic group of pieces, good catalogue charting the important history of the Glass House that was once in Covent Garden and the later Islington.
A good night , with many familiar and many of the first faces of British studio glass.
Lunch time was a discussion, which was made a tricky by a hail storm that all but drowned conversation and the evening was very busy. 
Exhibition / CAA Focus
Making 3 new pieces for this focus. Really pleased to see the first white piece seen here in progress, and made a clear glass Aesculus for the first time too. It really lets the light dance . The exhibition opens in London on 24th April through 31st May and runs at the same time as the Glass House Exhibition.
