Another new artist joining us this year in Amy’s backyard will be Alison Fox. Here stained glass pieces are not quite normal. But instead an exciting mixture of classic techniques and unconventional pieces added in. Antique prisms, vintage bottle glass, trinkets, cabachons, and so many other things may find their way into one of Alison’s pieces. Clever. Colorful. Eccentric.

According to Alison…
“I have loved glass ever since I can remember. The way the light comes through it from a full moon to the slightest reflections, has always been intriguing to me. And color. Layers of color. I cannot live without it. When all these things come together, it truly has an effect on me that fuels my passion for this medium. My ideas are always evolving and, having started my art doing stained glass in the traditional form, I quickly became tired of that as I always look to my artwork in different ways. This is an advanced form of stained glass, where I use antique/vintage glass inclusions in each piece. All individually foiled and soldered with classic stained glass as the background. I also recycle old window sashes to use as my frames.”
