My name is Jenny Jones and I am the sole owner of Heart of Glass Studio. I am based at Wimbledon Art Studios, and everything you see is made here.
After working with all sorts of medium as a Design Technology Teacher, I finally found my passion ... creating kiln-formed glass pieces. I am self-taught, but am continually exploring and researching different techniques and methods. I am particularly interested in colour and the reactions that can be created with different combinations of glass.
My unique pieces are available to buy. I also accept commissions.
In addition, I will be offering bespoke events catering for children and adults alike, for example Christmas Decoration workshops, hen parties and whole school projects.
Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
Kiln formed glass is a process of creating beautiful and unique pieces of glass art. It involves heating glass in a kiln until it reaches a molten state. The glass is carefully placed on a kiln shelf, and then heated at specific temperatures to achieve the desired effect. Shaping and manipulating the glass involves various techniques including cutting glass.
Working with glass involves endless possibilities in terms of design and creativity. A variety of different types of glass in a myriad of colours are available to enhance the design process. From vibrant and colourful bowls to intricate and delicate sculptures, kiln formed glass offers a wide range of artistic possibilities.
Whether it's a functional piece or a purely decorative one, kiln formed glass is a captivating art form that showcases the beauty and versatility of glass as a material.
