Clare Gaylard Glass 

One of my favourite designs of 2020 has been my Cloud ring. I’m channeling some of the qualities I’ve always found compelling in the nature-inspired work of René Lalique: diffused light, flowing lines and the quality of being lit from within. Walking the Suffolk fields during lockdown - in all we...

Packing up a treasure chest of clouds and alchemy in glass for a special customer. A glowing handful of rings to try-on at home.

I call these Alchemical rings because the silver shifts to such a golden colour on this glass in the flame. They also bloom incredibly differently according to the light and angle when worn.

Find a world of ripples and reflections in each of the singular glass buttons among my work at Old Harnessmakers from 3rd December.

We will be responsibly opening our doors for a single day if all being well!

Glass buttons in current autumn-sunset colours, one of the more functional items I create... I shall have work in the Aldeburgh Gallery for their winter show from 10th December 2020 and my button stores are low.

I love making these, the rhythm and flow of the process really kicks in here. Wearing one is pretty good too. These three are for the winter show at Old Harnessmakers in Harleston.

Misplaced my snippers, have yet to find out what the millefiori on the cross-section come up as!

Not Shy.

A glass tear jar or lachrymatory I made for Remembrance Day some years ago and an extract from the poem Bledewort by Eleanor Brown, fro...

On a trajectory to Canada.

Kitchen alchemy from kind neighbours who know how to treat a quince - plus sunshine.

Sending some splendid Iris Foetidissima berries/seeds off with this package of small glass items to a plant lover. The contrast between the colours of the seeds and the flower is so great (although the flouri...

I’ve been carving out a small space here on my website for a Glass Shop. I have a selection of my work available and am adding to it as items sell. I’ve chosen to start with Midsummer glass as it traps the light and evokes beautiful long days, warmth and abundance. Please share with any lovers of glass, treasure, adornment and singular ar...

I was looking very spcifically for silver for a commission and achieving a rather alchemical gold instead. VERY frustrating at the time but a useful reaction for future projects.
