GLASSOPHONY
Fused glass can be practical or just be…beautiful. There will always be a place or occasion that can benefit from the addition of fused glass; weddings, anniversaries, birthdays or a thoughtful house-warming gift. Maybe something for yourself. And why not? As the light reflects and dances around the glass it’s enough to brighten anyone’s day.

THE ARTIST BEHIND GLASSOPHONY:
MEET THE MAKER
"After three decades in television production, my move to East Sussex marked a pivotal return to my creative roots. Meeting fused glass artist Tony Wynne in 2014 rekindled the artistic path I’d set aside in the 1980s, when I exchanged my degree in Dress, Art & Design for a career behind the television camera.
Drawing inspiration from nature, childhood play, and abstract art, I create functional homewares, decorative pieces, and jewellery that celebrates the inherent brilliance of glass.
In television production teamwork was essential. Now my team consists of me, the glass, and my kilns—partnership built on fun, experimentation, and discovery."

WHY GLASSOPHONY?
The name Glassophony merges my love of fused glass with a life-long love of music. Just as a composer chooses the instruments, order of notes, tempos and subtleties of volume to create a symphony, so I get to juxtapose colour, texture and levels of opacity to create my own playful symphony in glass. Harmonious compositions where colour, light and form unite and allow the natural beauty of the glass to take centre stage.
