Fused Glass Artist and Children's Writer
For the last few years I've immersed myself in the joy, delight and creative potential of the wonderful medium of glass. I use fusing techniques to manipulate shadows and reflections and to exploit the amazing palette of colours that glass offers.
I'm always experimenting with new ideas and I love commissions, they stretch my skills and imagination. I have been commissioned to make windows, internal and external door panels, wall lights and tiles for bathrooms and kitchens.
By invitation I am having an exhibition at the Hawth theatre in Crawley, Sussex - RH10 6YZ - from 25 February to 10 March 2012.
I will not be part of Cambridge Open Studios in July this year, as I hope to visit Iceland during the summer, and I'm likely to be away for June and July.
However you are welcome to visit my studio at any time when I'm around. Please phone or email me to make sure I'm here and to arrange a date and time.

Children's books: I started writing and illustrating children's books in the late 60's. I used just my first name Althea. We formed the publishing company Dinosaur Publications, named after my main character, Desmond the Dinosaur.
