About Gore Tree Studio
I'm Carole and I create my work from my home studio in Hemingford Grey. I also love to share glass with everyone so offer workshops throughout the year.
​
​​All fused glass pieces produced by the studio are hand cut and ground from quality Bullseye Glass (Portland, Oregon) and fired at least once in my kiln, over night, to create individual unique pieces of artwork, glassware or jewellery. Additional firing to enhance pieces is usually required for texture and shape-changing. Copper, brass, silver foil and other metals are used in some pieces to create a different effect. As glass is a natural medium with its own physical properties no two pieces are ever exactly the same and therefore each piece is truly unique.
At the studio I also hand craft copper foiled (Tiffany) work using different types of stained glass - cathedral, opaque, translucent, opal, iridised etc. This glass I also use to create leaded stained glass pieces using almost the same methods and materials as medieval craftsmen.
Glass is such a beautiful material, I am sure you will soon also become enchanted by its richness and variety as I have become.
