Biography:

Artist specialising in kiln formed glass, based in Stony Stratford.

Sam uses special fusing glass & other materials to create her designs which she melts & shapes in her kiln. A piece has usually been in the kiln at least twice to get the effect that she wants.

Inspired by the natural world, especially the seaside & landscapes, she loves to create pieces that evoke fond memories of adventures to favourite places. She loves it when light passes through a finished piece, the colours & textures in the glass ‘come alive’ & create wonderful patterns on the surrounding surfaces.

Member of Buckinghamshire Craft Guild, since November 2023.
Elected Chair of Visual Images Group (VIG), organiser of Bucks Art Weeks, in October 2023.
