Clare Gaylard Artisan Glass 

It's been a long summer for one reason or another, very happy to be back at the torch and engaging with autumn.

Blue&White china and physilis from the garden.

At The Sentinel Gallery, Wivenhoe.

Makers of Art and Craft, Great Glemham Church IP17 2DA. 11am - 5pm Sat&Sun.

There are blackberries everywhere and I'm highly suggestible.

This shop window made me think of the lovely old Ladybird book of 'The Elves and The Shoemaker'. What sorcery would you need to wear the lightest shades and keep them clean for even a day? Noe in Haarlem.

Two gold-on-glass rings that are part of a delivery to The Sentinel Gallery in Wivenhoe, in time for their upcoming exhibition; Personal Perspectives. The exhibition runs from September 22nd - October 7th 2018.

Sailing to Byzantium.....

Better with bees on top though.

On a working hand.

Waterfront by the Het Scheepvaartmuseum, Amsterdam.

Antique Delft tiles in the basement kitchen of Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder.

Studio shot of 'Sol' a totem of ten, loose, wearable glass elements. Handmade murrini, 24 carat gold leaf, all forming and detailing done directly in the flame. Currently at the Suffolk Craft Society Summer Exhibition in Aldeburgh. I started on this theme during our very cold, grey, spring and it seems to have conjured the sun.

With the fields as dry as prairie - this old garage on the way out of town looks the part.
