Fenella has been working with fused glass for 30 years being introduced to the craft at Cambridge Art College, however she has been able to dedicate more time to this versatile medium since retiring in 2016. Fenella is inspired by our beautiful east coast and the sea, “I am lucky enough to live near the stunning River Blackwater and have my studio in my back garden”.
Fenella gained her teaching experience during my long career as a nurse, acheiving a Post Graduate Teaching Certificate. She offers small workshops experiences at home but also works at a number of larger studios around Essex and has exhibited and sold within the county for years. She really enjoy delivering the workshop experience as a day for the recipient to relax and offer valuable self therapy.
Fenella is open to commissions both big and small and am always happy to discuss ideas for new workshops. “I also enjoy textile and machine embroidery art, sailing, outdoor life and my gorgeous growing family. “

My glass journey started on the 23 February 2023 when I first came for a class with Ian. Who would have thought that I would end up working in this colourful world full of potential. I have always been a self proclaimed hobby hopper and have in a previous life before kids, ran my own baking business. I also love to do a wide array of needle crafts, vinyl crafts and many more. What I love about glass is that it gives you so much creative freedom, it lets you combine knowledge from other crafts with this wonderful medium and there is no end to the potential that it provides. I've had a steep learning curve and I love it! I might be new to glass but I am a fast learner and love sharing what I have learned with others. I look forward to meeting you and to help you take the first step into the wonderful world of glass!
