My name is Judith McLelland and my studio is based in Studley, Warwickshire. I have a variety of experience with creative design ranging from patchwork to ceramics. I design and create fused glass artworks and giftware. I like to take my inspiration from nature in its wide range of forms and colours. The pieces I create range from small freestanding ladybirds incorporating wire for legs and antennae to a commission for a beach scene triptych which was wall mounted.
Glass fusing brings together my creative side with my scientific/engineering background. Fused glass is a technique which involves shaping basic glass materials into carefully planned out shapes or patterns, transferring the pieces into a kiln to be fused, occasionally repeating this process multiple times and ways to achieve different outcomes.
I sell my pieces through Warwickshire Artisans www.warwickshireartisans.co.uk, Facebook and word of mouth.
I hope this year to branch out and start offering workshops.
