​I have 3 exhibits in this exhibition.

This is the garden's first temporary exhibition with 34 sculptors from all over the UK, showing 62 pieces of artwork set alongside a permanent collection of 90 mixed media pieces - all with the aim of inspiring and challenging audiences of all ages when they visit the garden.
The garden's charitable objectives are the advancement of the arts, horticulture and environmental protection, particularly but not exclusively by promoting the cultivation and conservation of rare and endangered plant species of the world and the use of sculpture within natural and cultivated landscapes.
The garden is open to visitors from 18th April - 3rd November

'Bedazzled' and Razzle Dazzle' exhibitions at the Pyramid Gallery, York
2 exhibitions in one gallery!
I made this 5" diameter piece specifically for the open exhibition- Razzle Dazzle - 'a confusing or colourful often gaudy action or display'. My piece is made with water glass mirror as a base, 5 different colours of iridescent glass and a large number of glass beads threaded onto twisted wire. All pieces are soldered together to from this one-off design. The hidden hanging is soldered on the reverse. If you can't visit the gallery do contact them to purchase this very special design for £300.
Bedazzled - to greatly impress with outstanding ability or striking appearance - a selective exhibition of 25 pieces
Hosted by Terry Brett owner of the Pyramid Gallery (seen pointing to my piece in the photo) and the Contemporary Glass Society
Celebrating 25 years of the society.
