sheena maxwell

Sheena first came across the fusing of glass as a ceramic student in the final year of her degree in 1999. The excitement of the making and firing process motivated an overwhelming and new interest.

The anticipation and apprehension when opening the kiln awoke a new found passion and focus – never quite knowing
if a new experiment would bring a successful fusion, another technical problem or an accidental ‘wow’!

Intrigued by the technical experimentation of compatible materials, including metal leaf, copper wire and enamel & metal powders (with sheet, broken and powdered glass) and also the qualities achieved from different firing temperatures.

The marriage of design and aesthetics, focusing on colour and shape combinations, compositional balance and the quality of the finished piece is something Sheena has adored ever since.
