Welcome to our website.

We are living in strange times, and we count ourselves fortunate to be able to continue communicating with friends and family, even if we can't give them a physical hug. 

We're not booking any physical fayres at the moment, but we hope to be back out 'on the road' before Christmas. If you'd like us to come along to your event just drop an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we'll see what we can do. We have tried a few Virtual Fayres - follow us on Facebook to find out where we'll pop up next.

The on-line store is up and running, and we are stocking it with more goodies each month. You can see some of our latest listings in the shop at the head of this page - just click to go directy to the shop.

Same Design - Different Colours

Here are two examples 19/118of how a design looks different when it's executed using different colours.

Both the coasters and the platters are made using basically the same techniques, with the coasters being 10cm squares and the platters being 20cm squares in a shallow dish.

All the flat glass is hand-cut to size. Each coaster or platter needs a square of coloured glass as the base, and a square of clear glass to go on top. We've then laid out some thin glass 'Stringers' in a selection of contrasting colours, and added a few glass dots.

All of the pieces undergo a Full Fuse, taking them up to over 800 C to melt the glass into a single piece, but not quite hot enough to totally flatten the dots down - there's a bit of 3D texture left.

Apart from fitting rubber tabs on the base to protect your furniture, that's it for the Coasters. The platters are Slumped into a shallow ceramic mould to give them a dish shape - ideal for sweeties maybe?

The dots we used on this project are also made by ourselves, using offcuts from other projects which are heated to over 800 C which causes them to round off. 

As all our glass is hand-cut, and we can't always control the way the 'Kiln Fairies' move the glass around when it's in the kiln, no two pieces we make can be exactly the same, even if that's what we'd like.
