Glass
2015 British Glass Biennale Award Winner, Ruth Shelley specialises in contemporary glass design. Her works signature is the use of vivid, dramatic colour in fused and kiln-formed glass which includes panels, tiles, mirrors, bowls, coasters and jewellery.
She also designs and produces more traditional leaded lights and has worked alongside architects on numerous restoration projects. Much of her work is inspired by the dramatic shapes and forms of the mid Wales landscape where she grew up.
After 16 years of working with glass, Ruth is still captivated by how light transforms colour when it hits the glass surface
