As a young
person, Jennifer always admired fine
workmanship, whether it was finely made
furniture or the hand-cut pieces of a
stained glass panel. When the opportunity
arose for Jennifer to learn the craft of
cutting glass and making her own art, she
immersed herself into it; firstly studying
the copper foil technique and then further
on, into the leaded method used in
traditional windows.
Jen always
says "The more pieces, the better", thriving
on the intricate cuts, and fine detail, that
the right piece of glass can give you. Her
passion for form and colour are reflected in
the dramatic use of lines and in the
selection of only the finest art glass.
From the initial drawing to the final
polishing, her work is assured to be of the
highest quality. Each of her lantern designs
are original and made by someone who has a
deep respect for the natural world and
organic forms. |

Jennifer has done several large scale
windows, one of which was featured in
Stained Glass News (Feb. 2008).
"Allow the
light to shine, while providing a piece of
art." is how she would describe her
lanterns. Made from earthen materials, the
glass and agate complement each other to
create a feeling of solace and peace. The
lamps are inspired by nature and are to be
enjoyed for decades to come.
Jennifer's
next projects will continue to show her deep
dedication to a centuries old craft and her
willingness to perfect the techniques that
make her a true artisan. |
