I create stained glass panels and fused glass vessels and art panels,
Commissions are welcome.

In 2019 I was delighted to have my fused glass wall art ‘Beneath the Waves’ and my sculpture ‘Forever Young’ exhibited in the CGS Glorious Glass Exhibition at St Helens World of Glass. I am continuing to develop my ideas in creating connected pieces of fused glass to make larger pieces of work and overcoming the limitations of my small kiln. In my stained glass work I am working on projects that incorporated bespoke fused glass pieces into stained glass windows for customers.

As I am still experimenting … developing my skills … trying to find my path… work out which one I can do the most with…
So my current projects are:
a) using enamels in fully fused work, method a la Paul Messink
b) using dichroic paper and micas to enhance fused glass items not just jewellry
c) combining enamels with dichroic and micas
these last two are based on Tanya’s methodologies but using others enamels that already existed in the ceramics world.

My work is anthropomorphic. Often presented in pairs. Balance is a constant consideration within this work.

Anne Notebaert is looking for the simple balance in nature, the beauty of the sea, the everyday things of life you meet everywhere without paying attention to them.
Her glasssware smells of the sea and touches the sky.
Her work comes from a fascination for sea acorns, little beauties on the beach. The first glassware was simple and poetic, later she tried to show a realistic image of seasponges.
Looking for new techniques and experimenting her work has become more abstract. So her work of art is more like a surprising, amazing creation. And this new emotion is not anymore related to the original marine animal. Only the astonishment of the first discovery lasts.
