Deirdre Griffin
Deirdre Griffin, Glass Artist
Glass fusion is the art of melting glass on glass. It is a complex process whereby the glass needs to be specifically treated so as to withstand the heat of a kiln. Deirdre is inspired by colours around her, often reflected in seasonal change. Her designs tend to be abstract although natural themes such as the sea are often reflected in her work. She is now exploring the world of abstract and landscape framed-pieces made from glass.
