Yikes!

Auckland - Manchester.

Please wish my work a wholesome journey, everyone.

Navigating overseas exports has been a new realm for me. As always, wearing all the hats. I wouldn't wish this admin/paperwork load onto my not so nearest and dearest. I guess that's why people get paid to do this hullabaloo.

She's packed well, take the risk ay?🤞

So pleased to have my glass work selected this year and be exhibiting back in the UK. What an honour. ✌️

The Brittish Glass Biennale is central to the International Festival of Glass supported by GAS Glass Art Society at The World of Glass The World Of Glass St Helens, North West England 27 August 2026

The British Glass Biennale is open to British nationals, or those who are living and working in the UK. The exhibition is juried by an international panel of glass artists, curators and specialists. Many thanks to the panel for your selection and inclusion of my work for this prestigious show.

The work selected is part of an on-going environmental series of glass wall panels, relating to the local waterways where I now call home in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, New Zealand.

This will be full circle, since exhibiting as a graduate in the British Glass Biennale 2010 at the Ruskin Glass Centre, Stourbridge. I am grateful to be here.

*now for shipping the work to the other side of the globe in the correct amount of pieces! 🪨

Watch this space - I'm going have a small number of affordable glass pieces up for grabs soon as a fundraiser to help towards shipping the work to the UK!!
