Glass

We currently keep a stock of glassware in vibrant and bright designs. Featured on this page is the work of Margaret Johnson and Aline Johnson.

Margaret Johnson

Margaret Johnson obtained a BA Hons in Fine Art & Sculpture at Goldsmith's College, part of London University, 1974-1978. A post graduate course at Exeter University followed in 1981.

After a long period in teaching in both schools and adult education she decided to develop her own ideas.

A great deal of time has been spent painting in watercolours and she is currently exploring the use of colour, texture & form with the translucency of glass with an unusual technique involving the use of straw silk fibre.

The glass used is recycled and each item is unique.

 

Aline Johnson

Although Aline works from her studio at Cockpit Arts in London, her inspiration is fuelled by her affinity for the Jurassic coast of Dorset where she spends a lot of her time.

She designs and produces a range of fused and kiln-formed glass tableware, lighting and vases which she sells through galleries in the UK, Europe and USA.

The vibrant palette of beach paraphernalia, stripes on windbreaks and seaside rock translate with ease into bright designs in fused glass.
