Jenny Bayntun

I have a deep passion for glass, enjoying working with it in its various forms and exploring its complex qualities. I am entranced by its colours and the pools of light which it casts. I like the fact that glass is both beautiful and functional, that it has had a major role within most societies for centuries, that I am using similar skills to those traditionally used, yet can use it in a contemporary manner.

Coming from a multi-faceted working background, mostly in the field of medicine, I have learnt to value and to embrace life. I frequently express this ' joie de vie' in my work, using vibrant colours and flowing textures, creating glass jewellery, panels and platters, often recalling some detail of nature. A keen photographer, much of my inspiration arises from my photographic images.

Having gained my degree in Art and Design, I spent a year studying at the International Glass Centre in Brierly Hill, West Midlands, where I learnt to use most of the techniques of glassmaking. Amongst other places I have exhibited in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, Himley Hall, the IGC, Hastings Arts Forum, Stables Theatre, Hastings, also in France and Croatia.

As a Designer - Maker each of my creations is unique, handcrafted in my studio, and I happily work to commission.
