Karen Davies
Much of my work is influenced by the sea and the Cornish coast. We have a holiday home in Falmouth, set on the sea wall of the historic Packet Quays, looking out to Flushing, the Carrick Roads and the Penryn River. My Shoreline Gems and Tidal Treasures Collages are the result of many happy hours on the shoreline gathering sea glass at low tide. A low spring tide is my favourite time as there is so much more shoreline to explore!
I work mainly with Bullseye Glass and have recently been experimenting with Float Glass and many different inclusions including precious metal leaf and other interesting metals. I am interested in creating abstract textural glass art. As well as creating beautiful visual art to hang I like to make functional items.
Since having a workshop built in my garden I can now offer one and two day taster courses which have become very popular.
