25.01.2022 The fade to clear area of this side light allows privacy but highlights the fact that the stone wall continues from outside to inside the home.

24.01.2022 The original bowl which inspired a series

23.01.2022 The latest work made here in NZ and glowing in the garden gallery.

23.01.2022 The garden gallery is developing nicely...

22.01.2022 It is great to get photos of installed work, even when the builders are still finishing the project. These two balustrade panels were tricky to template and specify to the exacting shapes, but as usual, Les did a sterling job and they look amazing. No fingerprints will ever show, so the client can admire them for years and not have to get the Windex out to clean them :)

20.01.2022 A small glass artwork can do the job to make a special difference to a plain door.

18.01.2022 These elegant organic room dividers frame the breakfast nook in a light filled apartment and complement the coloured glass collection of the owner.

17.01.2022 We are looking forward to the wonderful WAIHEKE ISLAND WINTER ARTS FESTIVAL OPEN STUDIOS on Queen's Birthday weekend; 4/5/6 June with more than 30 island artists' studios open to visitors from 10am till 4pm over that weekend. Check the community gallery website for details- http://www.waihekeartgallery.org.nz//waiheke-winter-arts-/

16.01.2022 Handmade glass in all its forms has a fascination...I don't blow glass, but appreciate the work of other glass practitioners' techniques just the same.

16.01.2022 We revisited our great friends and clients at Jott Engineering, in East Kew the glass we made for them ten years ago. Board room table with Lava centre. A technical challenge which came out very well and still looks amazing. Thanks guys. We have certainly had some interesting commissions over the years.

14.01.2022 The bigger news is that we are relocating to live and work on the beautiful island of Waiheke, in the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland, New Zealand at the end of November. Les will continue his glass art practise there and supply clients worldwide. Watch this space for more news in the future and images of the stunning scenery. We highly recommend Waiheke Island for its great lifestyle, beaches, world class wineries, climate etc and it is only a 35 minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland so put it on your radar to check out for your next holiday perhaps.

13.01.2022 Very excited to be involved in this year's Artist Open Studio event on Waiheke Island over the 3 day Queen's Birthday Weekend: May 30,31 and 1st June. I have been getting the kilns up and running and have new bowls and sculptures; photos coming soon!

09.01.2022 The gallery garden awaits autumn visitors. Meanwhile the blackbirds enjoy their selection of beautiful birdbaths!

05.01.2022 The sculpture in our garden at the studio...a smaller version of this entitled 'Shoreline' has just been selected into the Waiheke Community Art Gallery Small Sculpture exhibition, entries selected from all over NZ.

05.01.2022 This is the 'Shoreline' sculpture.

05.01.2022 This is a detail of the glass work which was featured in the local paper 'Waiheke Weekender' in February

01.01.2022 Textured glass does not show dust and dirt! Easy to keep looking good at all times.
