387 Wendy Newhofer OAS, OCG

Region: Jericho – City

Artform: Glass

Wendy makes kiln formed glass in her Oxford garden studio. Starting with clear glass she uses metal leaf, foil and wire to ‘draw’ within the glass, leaving the heat of the kiln to work its magic and produce a rich palette of painterly colours within the glass.

Wendy’s glass encompasses wall hung pieces, freestanding panels and glass for the garden.

Recent work explores the depiction of miniature glass landscapes which are redolent of monochrome photographs or prints and have a tactile quality to them .

Inspiration comes from a variety of sources in the world around her.

Microscopic organisms are enlarged in scale and translated into glass to reveal the beauty of their forms.

Wendy’s enduring love of the repeat within pattern can also be seen in her interpretation and development of fabric designs to create wall panels of different dimensions.

Also at this venue, Becky Morgans will be showing her contemporary handmade silver jewellery some of which incorporates sea glass in lovely muted shades.

Frank Newhofer is holding a grand charity studio sale of photographs taken over many years. You may recognise some local venues as well as series of photographs in man of the world’s most stunning places.. Framed and unframed work available in various sizes.
