Charles was looking for a hobby medium where he could create functional and artistic designs to put his own style on his house décor – he discovered glass! Charles gained his inspiration from viewing stained glass works, especially Church windows, feeling the warmth and colour created by the light falling on and through these pieces of art. Today Charles is keen to continue his exploration of movement using the principle of molten glass and the unpredictable reaction of the different glasses at the higher temperatures than the normal fusing range. Charles is also working on bringing glass and wood together using the unique patterns of each to create harmonious pieces. Charles says: “Glass is glorious! because it is a fun hobby to do at home introducing colour, texture and movement”.
