fluidity whilst letting light
dance across its surface and
through its inner world,
capturing a moment in time”

Stephens’s passion for glass first emerged in the mid 1980's whilst studying at Shrewsbury Art School, and later at Birmingham Polytechnic of Art and Design 'Glass and Ceramics B.A.Hons'. But it wasn't until some years later that he was able to fulfill his dreams of mastering the material to produce the stunning variety of shapes & forms that now grace his portfolio.

key element in my work”
Having completed his study at the prestigious International Glass Centre in the UK, Stephen went on to create a number of commissioned works for both sculptural and functional pieces. In January 2001 He was awarded the Broadfield House Glass Museum, glass blowing studio scholarship and the first applicant to be awarded an extended 2nd year – this is where he perfected his trademark surface techniques.

captivating material to work
with and to look at. My
inspiration often comes from
the glass itself”
