Fusing, slumping and casting are methods used by Dorothy to produce glass forms. Inclusions between the glass layers of fine metals, wire, foils, enamels and organic materials create her unique designs and textures. Dichroic glass is used to create a range of beautiful jewellery. New work of decorative hanging panels is born from her interest in creating more detailed images within the glass using a painterly method. Dorothy graduated from Derby University in 2000 and runs her small studio business ‘Reflections’ at Banks Mill, Derby. Studio 0.4 Banks Mill Studios
