94 Jo Ricketts at Art @ Bredon House

Artform: Glass, Sculpture

My passion for working with fused glass was kindled over 25 years ago. Initially inspired by the intrinsic beauty of glass itself, I work mainly with transparent glass as this enables ambient light to reflect, refract or diffuse to enhance the beauty of the object.
My interest in Art Deco is clearly evident, and many pieces have been inspired by the natural world, with blues and greens featuring prominently.
Different glass reacts differently in the kiln, and thus each piece of work is unique. I’m always excited to open the kiln to see the final result, and this increases my motivation to experiment with colour and texture to create something beautiful and new, and to learn new techniques and discover new possibilities. My work has always had a sculptural element, and I continue to experiment with ways of using the kiln to bend glass.
My enthusiasm for fusing is infectious, and I enjoy running workshops at my studio in beautiful gardens in the Warwickshire countryside.
