RD Glass

RD Glass strives to produce high quality glass items which are attractive and frequently functional whilst also being affordable . Each fused glass item has been produced by cutting many sections of sheet glass and then layering them on top of each other and melting or 'fusing' them together in a kiln. Some pieces are ground before this stage and most pieces are ground afterwards, before they are polished and fired in the kiln again once or twice more. Any shaped pieces such as bowls are fired again or 'slumped' over or into a mould to create the shape. As each item is handmade no two will be quite the same, and apart from the stud earrings none of the dichroic jewellery designs are ever replicated so you can be sure that you are buying a unique item. All of the jewellery is produced using only glass and .925 sterling silver unless otherwise stated and each piece comes beautifully packaged in a quality RD Glass black ribbed card box. Commissions are always welcomed and just because an item is not on the site it does not mean that I could not make it so get in touch!

The cast glass sculptures are all unique and original and are produced by many stages of mould making and polishing. I use the lost wax casting technique to produce these pieces and they show my love of colour and light.
