Clare Gaylard Glass 

The fragment of Amethyst Geode at the centre of these images (and a lovely commission) was the seed of my exploration in glass shown around it, and more. I love a microcosm, and this journey was all the more pleasing for having been unplanned. There was a moment post-commission when I could have cleared the colours off my workbench and reverted to prior plans and chose not to. Now the trick is knowing when to stop.
