Dorothy loves creating things in glass for specific sites. She designs and makes traditional and contemporary stained glass panels, screens and windows; creates modern fused glass wall hangings and bespoke vessels; dabbles with garden glass, water features, sculptures and constructions; and enjoys the discipline of mosaics.
After various courses and master classes in the UK, she gained a placement in Siena where she completed a traditional apprenticeship with Vertrate Artistiche Toscane and privately undertook weekend courses in mosaics in Florence. On return to the UK she gained post-graduate qualifications in Architectural Glass at Central St Martins (London University for the Arts).
Recently she has also been experimenting with more modern materials such as window films and Perspex, and continues to explore ideas for 3D pieces.
She is happy to discuss ideas for glass features for your home, business, garden or public site – to create items for fun, for celebration or commemoration. Contact Dorothy on 01256 780 579 or email to decollard@btinternet.com
