Glass and metal garden sculptures.
'The garden is an important addition to your home and a reflection of your lifestyle. Add colour, energy and movement to your garden by incorporating a one-off piece of glass and metal art to suit you?'
Each piece is designed and made with your needs paramount. From the initial conversation to the fitting of the finished sculpture you will be really involved with the whole process. A site visit can be arranged or the initial design concept can be made via photographs of the intended site.

'BEN'
'Ben' 1.7m high x 1.2 long approx (mild steel and fused glass) £1950
Detail of above 
This has been designed amalgamating glass and metal. The metal has been forged, cold formed and welded, while the glass has been fused and slumped. This sculpture has been designed to offer some movement through the springiness of the metal and its positioning. The shadows created due to the metal are an important design element.
Above the shadows always an important design consideration.
'2 SAILS'

Mild steel and fused glass £1850.
Standing at 2.1m high, this garden sculpture adds movement and colour. It is made incorporating hot & cold metal techniques, plus glass fusing and bending.
'D' Design pivoting screen.
Detail
I like to design using architectural elements as an important factor. With this in mind I have developed movable screens which are made out of mild steel which holds the contemporary fused glass in place.
The screens move on a centre pivot which is fixed into the ground, whilst a lockable castor is fitted to the other leg of the frame, thereby enabling the screen to be moved in a circumference allowing you to position the screen in relation to a light source, or possibly atmosphere you wish to achieve.
Original design concept for 'D' design.
'Here and Now'
£995
This piece really challenged Jackie's technical abilities. She develops a design first which she makes into a model. She then works out the appropriate scale of the finished piece and how to make it.

About the artist
Jackie is in a unique position where she is professionally qualified and experienced as a glass artist and a blacksmith. This enables her to really push the creative and technical boundaries, ensuring all her work continues to be exciting and original.
When designing for exterior environments Jackie endeavours to create a piece of art that not only brings additional energy to the space that it is intended, but that also has architectural qualities. She likes to design in a site-specific way using the existing environment as a spring-board for her initial design concepts e.g. taking into account direction of the sun, what exists already and who is going to be using the space. Each piece of architectural garden glass is individual and is held in a material which is a congruent part of the overall design, normally metal or wood depending on design requirements.
Examples of Jackie's sculptural work can be seen at her workshop and are also exhibited nationally.
