A good word to associate with working with glass is ‘focus’. I so often loose myself when forming ideas for a new piece. Making sample after sample until I can get the feeling I have with my idea, into the glass in front of me. This repetitiveness calms my mind, slowly reducing the chaotic noise of the process into a simple beautiful note.
Over the past 16 years, my long time love of gardening greatly influences my work, and shows in most pieces.
Originating from Lancashire, I have ventured to the middle east for several years and have now happily settled with my husband in Marcham, Oxfordshire. This is an expanding village, as they all seem to be these days, but it is managing to hold onto its valuable community spirit.
And here is my wonderful helper, guide, aide, shoulder and general calming influence …..
Hi there, I’m Karen, daughter of the talented Pip Stacey. My base is in Lincolnshire where I live with my other half and our son. We have a small holding in a lovely rural village where we are lucky enough to have our animals and plenty of space for growing our own fruit and vegetables. I am currently helping mum from afar, but I’m sure we will be working together soon.
