I know you shouldn’t have favourites when you have lots of products..it’s like you shouldn’t have a favourite child, but you know how it is! Anyway, one of my favourite products that we make at Fused Glass Art is our glass wine bottle butter dish! [Read more…]
Create a special occasion bottle clock
At Fused Glass Art we are renowned for our bottle clocks! We have big ones, small ones, green ones, blue ones, clear ones, brown ones and even a sapphire blue one but the common dominator with all of them is that they are all handmade by us, and they are all made from recycled glass bottles.

Fused Glass Art Coasters
Our fused glass art coasters are literally, a piece of art! Handmade by laminating two pieces of glass together, the colour is then delicately spread to create vibrant glass coasters. They are then fused together in our workshop in Shropshire creating beautifully soft tactile edges. [Read more…]

Fused Glass Art Ideas
I am now officially an Ambassador for Glass working with “Friends of Glass UK”, “Friends of Glass France” (who are very patient with my terrible attempt at their language!) and “Friends of Glass EUR”.

Market Diary-Ironbridge Craft Market May 2011
Have to say unloading is a nightmare at Ironbridge Market as parking is not easy. The weather was not too great with gusts of wind catching Gazebo. Alan from Fordhall very kindly weighted ours down with his gas bottle and Martin of Mr Moydens Cheeses was good enough to grab the gazebo when a gust of wind nearly took it away! [Read more…]

Fused Glass Art at Uzes Market
We set off for Bagnols-Sur Ceze and head for Uzes for some more inspiration for our fused glass art creations. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky when we reach the plateaux on the road to Remoulin and turn off down winding lanes and past peacefully grazing grey Camargue poneys, through sleepy villages and old ladies collecting their bread from their bags left out for the mobile Boulangerie who delivered early this morning.
