Biography
Amanda is on a mission is to reinvent the world of 'little glass animals' for the 21st Century. She has specialised in miniature glass making for 30 years and is a familiar face at some of the UK’s best designer maker events, art trails and exhibitions. She loves that her meticulous techniques constantly fascinate and surprise people, and that she now has many loyal Collectors all over the world.
inspiration
A long working life means she has met all sorts of people at anything from high end exhibitions to world famous festivals. Unusually for an artist, what she makes is very much influenced by suggestions and challenges from those she meets. If it makes us all smile and laugh, she’s up for the challenge of making something ridiculously small!
medium
Amanda's method is lamp work or flame work, manipulating small quantities of molten glass in a flame the size of a bunsen burner using miniature glass making tools. Each piece she makes can take anything from 10 minutes to several hours. Her pieces average in size 1-2cm nothing larger than 4cm. Once each piece is made they must be cooled (annealed) very gently over several hours in a kiln before being cleaned and finished for display.
