"Be Glad" series - Little glass flower dishes perfect for biscuits at elevenses, that has the simple flower design fused into them. White on white or light pastel colours, simple and harmonious and clean.
Glass Garder Flowers - The new range of ‘garden flowers’ are delightful - making glass pieces for the garden has been in Kim's mind for ages, a chance to add colour to plants in pots or herbaceous borders any time of the year.
"River Series" - Bowls, square plates and oval dishes - made up of fused layers of coloured glass, then engraved with a diamond v-cut wheel, cold-worked on a diamond flat-bed grinder and finally slumped in two firings into a mould to take on the shape.
"Tapestry Land" series - Kim's textile training is finding it’s way into the glass in this series of work. It is strongly influenced by an impression taken from landscape of the layering and texturing of colour, also with reference to lines of movement that can be read in the landscape. This series includes both plates and wall panels.
Kim trained in Fashion & Textile Design at St Martin’s School of Art, London and then worked internationally as a freelance fashion/textile designer, setting up her own business in 1992. Initially she worked with textiles and handmade paper. Since 1999, she has retrained in new techniques in kiln-formed glass and worked for 9 years with this process in her studio on the remote Isle of Skye, North West Scotland. Currently Kim works from her recently established ‘Heart of England’ studio in Staffordshire.
