25.01.2022 One of the joys that has come out of the COVID-19 restrictions is that my son, Simon Young was a refugee from Melbourne while his workplace was closed. Its been a delight having him creating in the studio, with his energy and passion for pattern and colour. Proud mama moment. (And its his birthday today - happy birthday Simon)

25.01.2022 How is it done? Behind the scenes... I seriously wish I could work this fast

25.01.2022 Installed today. Fortunately I was under cover in this very damp weather. Such a transformation for this house from the mid 1800’s #tudorroseglassworks #stainedglassart #stainedglass #historichomes #tasmanianglassartist

24.01.2022 The Kingborough Council is running ‘Ignite’ -a exhibition of small matchbox sized art works and large ideas. Details on the photo in the post but only on for a short time.

24.01.2022 Today I farewelled my dear friend, Mandy Beaumont, who has passed away far too young. A fellow lover of all things purple, she was a bubbly, feisty, generous soul and a talented creative who loved making with glass. We will miss you Mandy rest peacefully. Condolences to Miki, Eddie and Gwen Xoxox

24.01.2022 Shadow frames- glass on glass mosaic was the fastest class to fill when advertised. And there is a second group next weekend. Look at these fabulous creations - Beautiful and diverse. Not a bad way to spend a winters day in Tasmania #Tudorroseglassworks

23.01.2022 Glass Fusing class on this Sunday March 1st:10am- 3pm Room for one more if you are keen

22.01.2022 Are you interested in how centuries old stained glass is conserved and cared for? I will be up early tomorrow to tune in to this event.

22.01.2022 It’s on! So pleased to help Caroline Rannersberger with her interactive Glasshouse Arcadia project. Now open every day at the pavilion at Mawson’s Place. (Constitution Dock.) you can check it out until 27th June. Google it to find times when the music from the plants is accompanied by live musicians

21.01.2022 The first class in the new studio has just finished. Everyone seemed really happy with the space and their work was fantastic. We are all looking forward to seeing the results after the kiln gods have done their magic.

21.01.2022 Something contemplative. Notice difference in the reflections and shadows through the old drawn glass and the flat modern glass. The breeze playing in the trees outside the window

20.01.2022 This highlight was installed this week. It matches windows we did at the front of the house approximately 20 years ago. This doorway leads through to the new, rear extension.

20.01.2022 Leadlight weekend- fabulous projects and lovely people. It’s a good way to spend the weekend.

20.01.2022 Just letting you know that Ill be closed Thursday this week (28th) Apologies for any inconvenience and Ill be back on deck on Friday (29th).

20.01.2022 This set of windows are in a study. Magnolias frame the parrots and small birds. Ive had some wonderful & enjoyable commissions recently. Note the beautiful colour thrown onto the walls. Photos kindly supplied by my client.

19.01.2022 We were back in the studio for a fusing and slumping workshop today. It was a lovely group with some great pieces produced. Photos as the kiln was loaded.

19.01.2022 My faithful assistant, Holly, has a studio buddy today. Assistance dogs always welcome. Meet Schmally.

16.01.2022 I had the pleasure of making these two peacock windows for a pavilion in the north of Tasmania. The client sent some photos now they are installed. I also supplied coloured glass in matching colours for the arched widow early. Loved this commission.

16.01.2022 Im always happy when some amber bottle glass is replaced by something creative. The change to the light in the space is always a pleasant surprise for the client.

15.01.2022 This is the work from the weekend after fusing and slumping. The next class is full but I am releasing new dates later this week if you are interested in joining in the fun.

I continue to work on commissions and supply glass and products. Your health and safety matters to me, so I have put in place the following measures to STOP THE SPREAD: Studio visits I have implemented a strict cleaning protocol in the studio.

07.01.2022 OMG! Ive been lucky enough to attend many glass art conferences around Australia and oversea. This one is coming to you virtually through GAS, (the American Glass Artist Society) who should have been having their conference in Sweden.... This will be amazing. https://www.glassart.org/conference/2020-virtual-conference/

07.01.2022 My client sent me these before and after photos of a door Leadlight delivered last weekend. What a difference!

06.01.2022 Some before and after photos of the stunning glass made in last weekends fusing class. Love seeing what people create when given the chance. . #tudorroseglassworks #fusedglassart #colouredglass #from the kiln #glasskilnlove

06.01.2022 If you love coffee... Made by a Melbourne artist (friend of my son Simon)

06.01.2022 Second day of the Leadlight workshop and here are the finished pieces. Sadly one lady had to work but will get to finish her window soon. Beautiful work and happy participants.

06.01.2022 How are you going in these strange times? Its not an easy time for many people. This window was collected by the clients on the first weekend after social distancing was introduced. They live at the other end of Tasmania and built a special rack on their vehicle to transport it, then I helped pack it for them. On Saturday, I was so pleased to receive this photo of it installed. They have said it is making their home a haven at this time.

06.01.2022 Story blocks- a unique way to express your precious moments or experiences. This is the work from last weekends workshop. If you are interested, I still have 2 places available October 17th and 18th. # Tudorroseglassworks #castglassart # fused glass #tellyourstory #memoirwithadifference

06.01.2022 Marc Chagall is a renowned artist and the world is blessed to have a collection of his artwork in stained glass. We wont be travelling the world for some time but you can enjoy this round up of his work vicariously in your isolation. I hope you are all doing ok in your spaces and are looking out for each other

04.01.2022 day1- Another enthusiastic group learning about Leadlight. Finished product tomorrow...

03.01.2022 Happy birthday to my precious grandson. There can never be enough dinosaurs in the world. #fusedglass #tudorroseglasswork #bestgrandsonever #glassart #glassartisttasmania

02.01.2022 My studio is perched above the beautiful Margate Rivulet. There is a public walkway along the rivulet with access down beside my property. Platypus live snuggled under the banks of the creek. I couldn’t let this retaining wall stay drab. More creatures to come.

02.01.2022 Just installed - a laminated glass splash back with a very unique feature. Enjoy your cooking

01.01.2022 And now for something a little bit different. This glass bathroom shelf adds a bit of class and whimsy. Fused clear system96 with the fish pressed in during the fuse firing. You could learn this technique in the fusing class on Sunday March 1st. (See the website for more details)

01.01.2022 Last weekend a small group explored the intricacies of painting on glass.

01.01.2022 My client brought me two old Leadlights with cracked pieces in them and asked me to make up two new windows in a totally different size and shape. From long tall door panels to landscape rectangle windows also for a door. It was like doing a jigsaw in a different kind of way.

01.01.2022 This is my friend, Keith Dougalls art work in the Foyer of K Block at the RHH. Breath of Life Take some time to watch the video on the website about the story of its creation and meaning. Profound... https://www.catchingyourbreath.net.au/
